   How words are defined in terms of other words in separate   
   minds assigning private meanings thereto doesn't interest   
   me.   
      
   Some ways of looking at things have improved my lot. I   
   share descriptions thereof hoping they lead to similar for   
   others. But I don't believe arrangements of words serve as   
   silver bullets in all conceptuality contexts (aka minds).
