Word World
In this document I will outline a deathly virus I theorise exists, called word. It's an abstruse subject, but beyond it's harsh nature is a beautiful philosophy.
What if I told you the life that you're living is an abstraction of what it once was? Would you believe me? Would you give it second thought?
The principle of this theory is that words are a virus; that's not to say words cannot be beautiful or coherent, that's saying there is greater beauty and greater coherence beyond them.
For over two-thousand years we have used word-technology, and word-technology has led to other technologies. Word helps us to sustain ourselves and our civilization, but simultaneously, there is war.
Technology can be helpful or harmful, On the one hand, we have created wind-turbines that can generate free energy, and on the other, we have nuclear missiles, that can wipe out any landmass.
Animals hunt, or simply consume resource; in a world where there are tensions between humans, their prey and their resources, there will be vigilance and there will be indiscretion. Humans will design, and deny the wind-turbine based on want, and design, and use nuclear missiles based on need. Harmful technology would spur, and so would helpful technology; this is an aspect of the deathly nature of words.
Our sin advances as the word-technology advances, tensions between humans become more complex as time passes. The current Russian and Western tensions make it near impossible for peaceful resolutions by politic; where only a political winner can stop the impeding World War III. A side will criticize the others history, behaviour, and more; targeting leaders and reputable people foremost, and neglecting the general population.
History spans for thousands of years, and accepted behaviour has changed over the course of history. An analysis of ancient history with modern behavioural philosophy, is sure to see primitive man as undesirable, and the same goes for certain conduct throughout the ages. As time passes, we neglect our history with word-technological advancement and accepted behaviour.
Our tongues are locked into the system, and our minds are imprisoned – the only free will of the matter are the wordless aspects.
An abstract metaphor is that our heads are stuck to one side of a cube, and we live this way, instead of our heads being in the centre and our mind being balanced. I'm afraid I cannot explain in words what implications a wordless world would have on the mind, for I've never experienced it; but I imagine it would be like a great harmony audible to every ear.
We are, at this moment in time, standing on the edge of extinction...
