Three levels of communication

How the creator of Gestalt Therapy classified different types of human communication:

    a) Chicken Shit: small talk, exchange of cliches.
    b) Bullshit: rationalization, explanatoriness, talk for talk’s sake.
    c) Elephant Shit: high level discussions on religion, Gestalt Therapy,
        existential philosophy, etc.”
