[Fis] A general question about your experience on this list.

[Jeremy Sherman]

Information open to interpretation: If I don't hear of changed minds, I'll
have to guess whether people are too busy to respond or there's no news of
changed minds to report.

Terry Deacon, who changed my mind about information notes (following
Bateson) that no sign can be informational open to interpretation. For
example:

I've made a few new videos about free will in light of Deacon's work. This
is all my interpretation of his approach, carefully crafted to conform to
his views but nonetheless all mine. Terry and I have spent a lot of time
together. We have very different temperaments and styles. Let mine never
reflect on him.

In the second video, I touch on absence as open to interpretation.
