Recreational Communication

Value can be recreational or transformational. The most obvious example is information (say in a book, talk, or an email). It can be either side of that dichotomy based on its capacity for integration. If a communication signal is no longer helpful when the speaker leaves the room, we can think of it as a limited experience, which may or may not integrate subconsciously. Whereas, if a piece of communication opens space in our thinking (though confusion/deconstruction), our intuition will use that space (/slack) to travel further into and integrate into our ways of being.
