1. Korzybski appears to be an amazing man. Thanks for sharing this wonderful audio clip. Do you know if this audio has a transcript or available in text?

2. What a treat! Who knew we could actually hear Korzybski today?! His General Semantics was the first humane & helpful application of Wittgenstein's insights. The most dynamic application of Korzybski's is Albert Ellis's Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy.

3. The genius of this man was his insightfulness into the problems daily human life. Manhood of humanity is one of my all time favourite book.

4. I seem to be the 32nd person to click on the thumb – – – such a success !! One could ask himself why such a small approving audience (?)

5. This situation has been experienced by the African American community.

6. I was born on October 6, 1947 – prophetic. I am a Rational-Emotive-Behavior Theory/Therapy (REBT) advocator and user. Dr Albert Ellis based REBT on Epictetus and Korzybski. It is short term therapy based on changing your thinking about events. It has been proven scientifically to work

7. in 32:00 playing jazz on the radio 🙂

8. His work remains a powerful source to approch any kind of experience one can undergo!
