Abstracting the abstractness!
Words, as instruments of the power of speech, were the pity of gods. For the outstanding absence of the capacity for a subtle disposition in the human race, puked them to disgust. Subtlety is a prerequisite for telepathy, which is infinite galaxies worth of cool(er) stuff than normal speech. But can you imagine the mental cacophony of mental voices it would always otherwise be in a thoughts only world, if the "speakers" were devoid of subtlety. So our species were gifted with the boon of speech and words, a direct consequence of which is our crassness which we often confuse with the misunderstood communication concept of being direct.
So we murder knowledge, repeatedly slaughter understanding and keep future generations in increasing amounts of pedantic darkness. Why else would we choose Latin - a dead language (as in nobody can any longer be bothered to speak it!), to name our fruits, vegetables, animals etc... The cool but direct vocabulary in invective is the only upside to the inferior gift of speech and words and a potential source of superior mental activity pointing in the general direction of salvation. For if we only ever had telepathy, we would only ever have thoughts and emotions and no words to cage them in. Thus caged, as these things are now in our minds, our emotions now successfully manage to convey frustration, hate and anger (occasionally love - as in fuck I am going to love the shit out of this little piece of shit) with a panache that a telepathic civilization wouldn't even have an inkling of.
If paper was not invented we might be now living in a world full of gifted - memory people (pedantic shit heads) and stone sculptor overlords.
So, given the emotion of thought that conceived them thus from divine minds, and therefore the inherent limitation of language / spoken out / written thought to convey comprehension, its no wonder that our minds devised the mental muscle of abstract thought, to understand and create the lord of templates. So that we might observe, experiment, understand and preserve the understanding for future generations.
One day as the queen of weedy looking chaperon-es reigned all over mind,
I stumbled upon a way to abstract
the abstract concept or rather abstractness,
but cognitive drift is the hidden weapon for the cannabinoid lady
so as we speak, fly into the ether my mind, they wind
So the things understood they could retract
and my bastard brain, lost everything to distractedness
Oh yeah got it, just came back to me
Consider the miracle of babies learning to speak. Its more or a less a cognitive empirical out burst of unconsciously gleaned imagery and its hit and miss developed intuitive translations into understanding. So what we think we know is not built out of truth but just its various translations by our predecessors.
So now imagine that (to yours and your priests massive surprise) that some random probabilistic divine system has made you the Chosen One and one of your choices (For the preservation of simplicity (lol) lets assujme here its the very next choice you would make.) would decide the fate of your world. And the success rate of you making the right choice is directly proportional to the extent to which you can explain the centRAL precePT OF THIS BLOG TO your own brain; that once you completely understand all that you read upto this point, that understanding itself will provide all the answers to all the question asked herein and vindicate the notion behind this piece of writing.
If you made it this far congratulations and thank you for your patience. This post was a BITCH to write. Apologies, the original idea crashed and burned cos i missed the thought train that promised its corresponding enlightenment, so all that is there is a shadowy skeleton with the belly of the idea missing. Just a vague image in the deep, ignorant, rotten recesses of mind, will edit and repost when it comes back!
