Adam 7
On Essence, Existence, and all those Aethery-like Substances

"Hmmm..." mused The Compassionate Cynic, ironically referring to himself in the third person.
After stopping for a moment to ponder pondering itself, he crawled out of his habitat and began to think about devising a possible framework in order to determine a viable way to meaningfully explore the nature of meaning.
"If we assume that we can understand what it is means to understand, then to have meaning we must assume that we understand what meaning is."
These were his first thoughts, in whose wake followed many more like it until he decided to look up 'post-structural semantics' on Wikipedia. Having found no useful information pertaining to his initial query, he retired to his habitat to continue to exist as pure essence.
Or did he?

To counter this hideous phenomenon, he has devoted himself to integrating compassion into his oozy nature, so as to be able to ooze all the more effectively.
