Well, I don't follow, at all. The fact that you seem to love getting lost in words (just as much as I do) is sort of demonstrated and at the same time diminished by your explanation on how (certain?) words/concepts are arbitrary — making it sound like it being 'arbitrary' has negative value. Why does that matter?

If I like a song, and say so, it's arbitrary. Why bother saying it? A mix of frequencies hitting my ear drums and matching some form of pattern in my brain is what I am technically excited about, but it's easier to say that... I just like the song.

I personally find it hard to follow the intention behind your argument, but I also feel it may be a waste of time for both of us to dive deeper, here.

I'd argue that the basic idea of a word is to describe "things", in a recallable form. If people want to discuss their interpretations of a word, I see no harm and wonder what the issue is.

You also seem to (unintentionally?) shift the original discussion over to a different context, from discussing the interpretations of certain words to "what is a worthy, or profound discussion to have", which you can freely do, but makes me wonder, again, what the intention is.
