GS Diary
In the spirit of "applying general semantics principles" to our lives, as opposed to dwelling in theory, we considered members' accounts of observations and applications relating to the principles and formulations of our discipline.

Some questions to consider:
 
1. What does the study and practice of general semantics
     mean to us as individuals?

 
2. How does this practice improve our lives?

3. What "general" human problem / issue is GS "solving"?

4. How is GS unique?

5. Has GS missed its "golden opportunity", and now on a gradual decline,
     while other movements have taken up some of its major themes (eg NLP, REBT)?

6. What do the members/practitioners want to do with AGS ...
     What about our ...
        a. Vision ?
        b. Impact?
        c. Timeframe ?
        d. Inertial paralysis ... ?

We should pause for some brief breaks, and finish by about 2 pm.

Facilitator: Mr Gary Hipworth.
