to integrate it into an existing set of correlations,
— Possibility
I don't see that this helps. It just replaces meaning with correlation. — Banno
The "Slab!" game and the counting apples game could be played by the very same person. But in what sense could we translate one into the other? — Banno
I don't see that this helps. It just replaces meaning with correlation. — Banno
what since does it make to say that information(meaning) can be moved? — creativesoul
It's probably worth pointing out that a language game is not just words. It also involves slabs and apples, and other stuff. — Banno
If the OP was instead that language is not only moving information from one head to another, then I would be more inclined to agree. — Luke
That's not an assumption. It's a conclusion. — creativesoul
In the relevant sense, the world is our games. — Banno
My intent wasnt to write something interesting. Is that what you are saying the point of this conversation is - to write something interesting - to get others to reply back, "Thats interesting"?Some of your writing is interesting. Then there is stuff such as this.
Not all words are nouns. Not all words refer to other things.
It appears that you do not have the background in analytic philosophy to follow the conversation going on here. — Banno

I cannot overlook the backdoor smuggling of agency when there is none warranted. All talk about information being within cells, rna, dna, etc. dubiously presupposes meaning where there is no creature/agent capable of drawing correlations between different things. — creativesoul
And as I explained to Terrapin Station, this is very clearly a meaningful relation (without it we wouldn't exist). — Metaphysician Undercover
Did anyone notice that I did not use the word "meaning" in the title or OP? — Banno
I do not agree with him(creative) that moving information is moving meaning, nor that information implicitly has meaning. The difference parallels that between syntax and semantics, or between Austin's phatic act and illocutionary act. — Banno
...we make meaning to the individual neural connections in the brain... — Possibility
Moving information may indeed occur, but is incidental to language. — Banno
I could go either of two ways: the first, call what is done with information the meaning of that information; the second, drop the notion of meaning altogether and just talk about information and its uses. — Banno
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
