| Quotation | Reading [Joost] Meerloo's remarkable manuscript Homo Militans [Militant Man] (not yet published in English - he wants me to collaborate with him on it). It is very interesting for the idea that I am working on - ambiguity and "communication" through the language - doubletalk and doublethink - surrounding peace and war. He makes so clear the fact that on another level than that of explicit statements, we convey fears, hostilities etc. which are the "real" communication. |
