Quoting Bob W <p...@web-options.com>:
Har! There's an error in the definition of Har! Har! is a signifier whose signified is a constructed reality. Nietzsche, in his book The Will To Power, said that he had an aversion to 'one total view of the world', and the PDML feels much the same about the meaning of Har! which, like notions such as equality, democracy and the rule of law has no universally accepted definition. To reflect Nietzsche again, it has 'countless meanings'. It is perspectival. We all need Har! of one sort or another, but which Har! is valid? It expresses incredulity towards meta-narratives and the obsolescent apparatus of legitimation, corresponding to the crisis in metaphysical philosophy, and invokes stylistic eclecticism as a pastiche of the dominating metaphor. The narrative function has lost its functors. I hope that makes it clear.
Perfectly, for something written in Klingon. Har!
