Purpose intent effect

The purpose of conversation may be entirely different from the intent. The intent of participant A may be to get B to take action x, and B’s intent may be to get A to take a varying action. But at a meta level, the purpose might be to advance the economy or the society. More: the effect might be to take a direction neither A nor B nor the economy nor the society saw coming. The purpose and effect of conversation is to bring about change. It brings change by introducing difference, also called variety, also called context. Also called life.
