bilby "I can't say it fits with my original concept of the Wordie Paradox." Jun 15, 2009

asativum Wow. Just stumbled across this. I can't say it fits with my original concept of the Wordie Paradox, but what the heck, it's an interesting (if vaguely surreal) conversation... Jun 15, 2009

yarb Yes it does, and I'm still not seeing drawers. Apr 16, 2009

rolig It all sounds rather Kinbotish to me. Apr 16, 2009

fbharjo For the sake of those of you who do not have access to pre Socratic philosophy - Heraclitus fragment B50 - Heidegger translation: "Do not listen to me,the mortal speaker, but be in hearkening to the Lying-that-gathers (LOGOS):first belong to this and then you hear properly; such hearing is when a letting-lie-together-before occurs by which gathering letting-lie,the Laying-that-gathers (LOGOS),lies before us as gathered: when a letting-lie of the letting-lie-before occurs, the fateful comes to pass;then the truly fateful, i.e. destiny alone, is:the unique One identifying All." Sounds like a definition of wordie process to me - paradox and all. It takes a time to dra(o)w it out.

fbharjo Would it be a wordie paradox if it were 'eidrower'? Who is the authority other than the listmaster? Define what 'wordie paradox' means. Apr 16, 2009

vanishedone It seems to be a surname. Apr 16, 2009

yarb What does a drawer have to do with "laying-that-gathers", and if the paradox is about drawers, why are we talking about it on drower? And what the hell is a drower, anyway? Apr 16, 2009

bilby I may be a word paradox. It's totally not a Wordie Paradox. Apr 16, 2009

vanishedone I don't think that's the sense of paradox Asativum had in mind; but that's for the listmaster to decide upon. Apr 15, 2009

fbharjo Besides being reword backwards, 'drower' is similar to the word 'drawer' which has parallel meanings to LOGOS ( the greek word for word). As Martin Heidegger speculated in Heraclitus's fragment B50 use of logos in his book, 'Early Greek Thinking'(page 76-77); logos literally translates according to Heidegger as 'laying-that-gathers'. 'logos' and 'word' perform the same function a drawer performs. This is the essence of the paradox and why the word is included in this list. My expectation is twisted by a hidden truth within the word. Apr 15, 2009

plethora I was wondering the same thing, actually. Just never got around to commenting on it. Feb 12, 2009

vanishedone Why is this word on the Wordie Paradox list? It seems free of glitches and bizarre behaviour. Feb 12, 2009
