“E-Prime”
How to
communicate without the use of the verb "to be" in all its
forms.
e.g. E-prime
removes: "is", "was", "were", "are",
etc from standard English.
Led by Dion
“Beyond
Truth”
What is ”truth” ... ?
Truth for whom? When? Where? Why?
Is there any absolute standard for truth?
Can something be true for you but not for me?
Can the same
"fact" be true now but false at another time?
Led by Robert
Identification & Timebinding, Tragedy &
Triumph – Part 2
Led by Laurie
We looked at the
debate on this topic
and how GS
formulations can shed some light
on why people find it difficult and possible
ways to improve the debate
and get a more accurate map of the
territory.
We used formulations such as: viewpoints,
elementalisms, multi-meaning,
extensional
defintions, identification/reification, projection, etc.
Some of us found
this a challenging day.

(Identification
and Timebinding, Tragedy and Triumph – Part 3
Led by Laurie
“The
Goldilocks Enigma”
Why is the world so perfect - Did God make it
just for us?
If God did not make the world, then who did?
Is there any role for "Intelligent (non-God) Design"
Why do people get all het-up about Evolution / Creationism?
Led by Robert
“Timebinding”
Again!
Led (at short notice) by David
What
"is" time-binding?
Is it the same for everyone, over all time?
How can we know what's "best" - Best for whom, when?
Does GS allow for "absolute values", or isit all about
pragmatism?
