The Mystery of Interpersonal Communication (Part I)
Is it really possible to accurately convey an idea from one mind to another? If so, how exactly does this occur? If not, do we have any hope of understanding others… or being understood ourselves?
It's both really... first we need to explain/justify the claim that communication is possible in the first place... and then if we claim that it is possible, explore the dynamics of how it takes place.
If we argue/claim that communication is not possible, that leads to an entirely different discussion (or lack thereof.... HA!)

I'm a bit confused about this topic. Are we talking about how people communicate or do we actually communicate?
