It is all in the name, open to see for everybody. One day, through unlucky circumstances, novelscoops got coerced into an oppressive contract. The whole thing gradually spun out of control, years later, they have novel scoops' whole family - the wive, the husband, the kids, the parents, the grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins and family in law - and he must keep publishing articles at an insane rate if he wants them to live. So excuse them if the novel scoops are formulated in a hurry, they haven't slept for more than 4 hours on end in years! The only reason I can talk about it so freely is that novel scoop has been skimming so many forums, and opening so many threads, that his abusers couldn't possibly find this proverbial needle in a haystack my post constitutes. So folks if you have no musings to contribute towards NC's quill, or liver towards their debt, I would like to ask you to behave uninterruptive to these endeavors.

Literal to figurative, figurative to literal...

Language changes because new words are needed to communicate.

How do you describe the changes of the last 300 years to the word "dope, doping"? Can you describe it to a person, or to an AI?

If you see two individuals exchanging sonic and reflective signals and you understand the symbols, does it mean you will understand the context they were spoken in? Is the order of the symbols part of the context? Are the pauses between the symbols more important than the symbols?

Brevity is...
Soul is...
Wit is...
Spirit is...
What meanings do each symbol have?
What order were they presented in?
What were the language and time and events of the decade that the phrase was first attributed?
What language and time and events surround and have surrounded the current speaker?
Is the current speaker's ratio of conformity and what is their deviancy of conformity?

Then... The (spirit of wit) is (the speed and precision) at which (the wit) was delivered.

The spirit of wit is the speed and precision of the delivered wit.

Oh wow. That looks almost like a coherent argument!

@Novel Scoops: I had a similar phase almost a year ago, and generally dumped my stuff into one thread, with a second thread on a very specific area, rather than various areas.  Uh, maybe you could run just one Novel Scoops Philosophy thread rather than the multiple ones, or at least wait until all your threads are off the first page?

Although personally, my favorite is the Future Thread.

Also, writing helps and might be an appropriate response to this question.
