Subject: Re: Changing the name of this list



I speak of thoughtaction (though I am *not* proposing that as a listname) 
because of the truncation that occurs in "thoughts and ideas", which de-
activates the "proposal/actional" space this list current enjoys. The whole 
thought/action divide is involved. A good "topic", if it can be a topic (I 
will speak, therefor, of a hybrid...). Even "praxis" lacks the necessary 
hybridity. So I say, list-thoughtsnprops, something/anything like that. I 
don't like "ideas", by the way, but prefer: thought, theory, thinking, 
philosophy.
