I have a theory that all the knowledge we have, is accessed through an invisible (to humans) dimension, and rather than coming up with things like language and technology, we’ve accessed it through our minds through the hidden dimensions and its full of god given information that we just have to be in the right time and place to be able to access it

That’s probably some tinfoil hat babbling nonsense to most people because im not super articulate but oh well

armenian alphabet vs amharic (horn of africa)

Mesrop Mashtots also created the Caucasian Albanian Script

I've been asking this question for years

inside job

Tower of Babel

lmao fries my brain every time thinking about it

lmao at this statistic you just made up

chomsky is the worst when it comes to this. mans legit believes language was a chance mutation by a single human

evolutionary linguistics is not his strength

Terrence McKenna has a lot of crazy talks dealing with language

We did

I like gh0stmans theory better

I don’t know if I’d call it the “one” mystery lol but if there is a pantheon Of great mysteries in life, language is most certainly up there. Not simply it’s origin but it’s process within (or perhaps without) the human mind is still a mystery that most simply don’t even think about. Chomsky has a lot of interesting stuff on this. If you are remotely interested in this subject, you start with him

language is a great tool and a mystery in its own right, but the most profound mysteries of consciousness and experience lie beyond language completely.

this idea is foundational to zen buddhism and some other eastern philosophies, that because language and word meanings are strictly relative they can never capture the deepest wisdom of existence. that which is unspeakable can only be hinted towards or pointed at by language.

Questions like these make me happy that all future generations until the end of time can have these answers and don’t have to theorize about their earlier descendants

Chomsky theorizes language as this computational component of thought. It’s a mathematical view of language that I find very interesting. Math isn’t real in the sense that you can’t go under a microscope and necessarily see numbers and equations but we use math as a tool to represent processes in nature we wouldn’t otherwise understand. I think language works in a similar fashion in relation to thought and consciousness. The difference obviously being we can trace the origin of math but not yet of language. It’s as alien as anything we’ve ever come across in the universe and yet we’re all using it right now as we speak

let em know

McKenna's "stoned ape" theory was basically Neanderthals had access to and started eating psychedelic mushrooms which led to them creating language and other forms of communication and evolution. It's unsubstantiated but so are all theories about the creation of language.

brah reading this made me zone tf out. great thought

I don’t think we’ll ever come close to answering life’s biggest questions until some type of time travel/time reconstruction exists

It’s just a brick wall until then

I think because a theory like this is such an easy solution (and requires religious faith), many wouldn’t want to adhere to it

But it is my understanding that the tree of knowledge contained all knowing, maybe the access to that got lost in succeeding of generations until we hit a rock bottom where it’s trending back upward

It’s hard to believe in religion and the evolution of man bc the two directly contradict on a fundamental level but I can’t give up on either lol

Oh im not religious bro! But i do see what youre saying
