@e I’m going to just suppose that you are pulling my leg. In case you aren’t, the simple answer is – you are quite right that people in esoteric philosophical disciplines don’t always have a precise idea of what terms mean…

The question “what does meaning mean?” is not an easy one to answer.

The ‘war machine’ example is an interesting one. It’s a translation. My claim is that the english expression feels very different than the french one. Who’s to say if i’m right or wrong?
