Every act of communication effects both an intended and an unintended meaning, and there is no reason that the intended should be given priority in the metaphysics of meaning. And why should intention be appointed the godhead of meaning? Why should we think that the unintentional has no role to play in the comprehension of meaning? Should the accidental be less meaningful, simply for want of an intending mind?
There is meaning in the unintended, for only that meaning may be discovered. For the counter-movement of intention is attention, which minds nothing for what the mind imbues into meaning, but rather attends to discover the essentially new. To paint a complete picture of what meaning is, we must admit a place for both attention and intention, for both play a role in the advent of meaning. Not only is intending responsible for the advent of meaning, but so also attending, for only an attendant is responsive from the first to the coming of meaning and therefore capable of its discovery.

Im not playing chess with you anymore.
Im not playing chess with anyone ever agian. I think the game made me sowmthing i waant supposed to ever be to you. I think the game waant a game and i dont ever wamt to be in a dispoaition where you think im a piece in a greater piece. Also you broke my clutch in my car and you didnt repair it. I think the game made you think i was your enemey. Like right now its over. No more chess games. No more chess pieces need to be moved. I think the chess gams mads us ready for poverty and just gave us dellusoons of what is real what isnt and neved gave us an oppertunitt of whay could be. Are you not scared. Alex looks like the guy who wrote the crucibile. Authur miller. I never knew you in a past life. I never knew your father or your mother. You just keep uncovering creepy things. And i kmow why you dont like him. Look at his face dude. He looks like the man who wrote the crucibile. I dont like that man. I really wanted to go to the school your dad was teavhing whsn i waa little. I just picked you out of a newspaper. And somehow you keep picking out matters that creept me out. Im a nut job bc i opemed the door to that man. What if hes a spell caster and you never knew him. I opened the door to that creep jerk. What if you never knew him and he put a spell over all our heads in that appointment we had where i ducked out. Your chess set is not american and i donf ever want to play chess with someone who is not american.
My whole school read that book and i wasnt in the class that elected to read that book. I dont know why but i swear no one knew that man and i swear no om in the apartment knew him. He just knocked at the door. I thoight it was you and i opemed the door. He asked for liz and then left when i said i didnt kmow him. Ok. He the one who runined our life and statted making uou smoke marinuana. How the heck did he get there. I dont like how i got cuaght up near that man. Were being chased by a creepy ghost.
