One day, Korzybski was giving a lecture to a group of students,

so deep

I don't get it. Why did eating dog biscuits make them want to vomit?

dog biscuits are actually pretty tasty

they're made of out the corpses of dogs.

Are they? I've always been curious.

I ate a couple as a kid, thinking it was funny to pretend to be an idiot, which makes me an idiot. I don't really remember what they taste like exactly, but I think they just smelled a lot stronger than they tasted. It was just like a really hard nutter butter cookie, just the cookie, not the filling. Its made for dogs' taste buds not humans'

Korzybski is interesting. I've been meaning to read his big fuckoff book recently but it's pretty obnoxious. There's a Japanese fellow who summarises General Semantics pretty well.

Also keep in mind it's a cult, in the sense that all those "if only we can jigger our minds to work properly, we'll unlock TRUE CONSCIOUSNESS!!!" movements in the 60s and 30s and 1880s were cults.

I eat them like normal crackers, they're honestly amazing. Kind of like a saltine with beef jerky mixed in, I definitely reccomend.

It's not a cult if you read it for yourself. I mean, I know what you mean, there is a Kult, but you don't have to join it to read the theory.

I knew a guy (or did I read it somewhere?) who filled the backseat of his car with kibble and set off across the country. Supplied him with all the protein he needed. The word is not the thing.

>>9708115
Guarantee he wouldn't to a black student. I'd have knocked him out on the spot

>>9708725
ya, so? and?

Korzybski stood before his Korzybski 101 class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty glass mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a jar of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open spaces between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar and of course the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous yes.

The professor then shredded two dissertations of two of his PhD students and then proceeded to pour the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the grains of sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things -- your family, your partner, your health, your children, your friends, your favorite passions -- things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

"The pebbles are the other things that matter, like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else -- the small stuff.

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out dancing. Play another 18.

"There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first -- the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the shredded dissertations represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of istitutionalized cult, and some good old fashioned nepotism.".
