What is the meaning aspect of conversation? Is it simply It, Thou, Us, Poetry, Making. Are these the only meanings? Maybe. On the other hand, can we see these as one domain together, and there being other domains? These all relate to how we converse, where we go with our conversation. We can have training, protest, creativity, reorganization. These can be mapped to It, Making, Making, Making and Us. What other meaning realms are there? There is religious and larger spiritual. There is activity—getting a job done. There is problem solving. There is screaming. There is relationship growing and mending. There is keeping others at bay. There is killing. There is building. There is working together. All of these map to these five. There is transmitting wisdom to the next generations. There is transmitting life. Still these five, stretched. Meaning may be a clue to what the next step is, and it may be where we are now: seeking meaning, led by Freud and Jung in the 20th century, and seeing now conversation. Could conversation be meaning? I do not know. It certainly can transmit and transform meaning.
