Semantics from the world of 1933.

An interesting perspective should not be overlooked. Like in physics, we shifted from Newtonian concepts of space and time to Einsteinian or non-Newtonian ideas. This change is visible in many fields, and some of us embrace it, recognizing how limitless our views can still be; others resist, aware that something is fundamentally wrong if you can't identify what it is. Korzybski opens our mind and world to the possibilities of non-Aristotelian systems and general semantics. "If one wishes to obtain a definite answer to Nature, one must attack the question from a more general and less selfish point of view." M. PLANCK
