4: The mimic age. Transition from visual to verbal
languages.
The Mimic, dramatic Age. Youth
of verbal languages.
When
talking of the origin of music we explained the mimic age of signs and simple
verbal sounds based in musical sounds that would express as a child does, the
basic feelings of fear [trebles], and pleasure [bass sounds], backed by facial
expressions. It is the transition age between the Homo Pictus (dominant in
spatial, image languages) and the Homo Verbalis (which ads the temporal
dimension of words).
The Neo-Paleolithic resembles the
Paleolithic age of mimics.
In
the mimic age, communication of images and forms perceived by the eye, is
elaborated beyond Image and Musical thought, into simple mimic and verbal terms. Yet Image thought, the direct
language of electromagnetic perception, is still dominant - it still causes the
sense of truth in man, which only believes what he sees. So the sounds are
'reinforced' with mimic, dramatic forms.
The
age of actors, of childish thought, of simple verbal expressions, returns now
in the Neo-paleolithic, the age of decadence and extinction of human languages.
So actors which were rightly considered till this century, childish artists,
have reached again as Neo-Paleolithic music has done, a new sacred status. We
can in this manner imagine how that first Paleolithic was. We can also look at
children and big apes, to realize of the gesticulating nature of the first
verbal age. We can perceive today that age, in the paleogenesis of human
languages, that take place in children. Children accompany all his words with
gestures and expressions to reinforce the meaning. Chimps and Gorillas are also
gesticulating actors, that accompany their brief number of sounds with multiple
facial expressions, as film actors do today.
They
behave like the first men who tried to speak probably did. Since we are
regressing into the third age of human languages, as the languages of machines
prey over human brains. So in the collective third age of human art, 'children
of thought', actors, and dramatic characters, that use mimic, and very simple
ideas to express themselves are the leaders of mankind...
Visual machines regress man to the
pre-verbal, individualistic age.
The
reason of that regression is self-evident (see chapter 14): the new dominance
of visual languages, now enclosed within big brother TVs, that become the new
media to communicate ideas to the human mass. At the same time digital
languages become truth and words fiction. The overall result is a massive
degradation of the verbal bio-logical soul of man. The effects are multiple. In
as much as words are the social network that unifies human cells as nervous
impulses unify the cells of your body, men become simplified into individuals.
Ethics and social evolution is lost, and men become selfish individuals without
temporal, verbal dimension. future and past, memories and survival projects
become irrelevant. We no longer care for the future of the species because we
have lost the temporal dimension that words give to man. We no longer care for
the experience of the past, to learn about the dangers of the future , because
we no longer use verbal modes to think on the past. So men become simplified
not only at social level, but at individual level in animal-like species
searching for spatial, visual, direct sensation of immediate reward.
The
Homo Americanus, the main character of the Neo-paleolithci is the living prove
of this age of stupidity, selfishness and degradation of man.
The
guilty is the metal-eye, the camera and TV.
In
this manner even in deconstructed form, the mind of machines by providing our
soul with images that hypnotize our eyes, degrades mankind to the previous age
to that of logic words: the mimic age.
And
our heroes become the most stupid human beings.
This
is expressed subconscious by the artists of the day. Billy Wilder a film
director affirms that virtue is not photographic. Mr. Tarantino affirms that
violence is cinematic. We know indeed, that the new dominant visual languages
degrade the ethic, verbal, temporal capacity of man, degrading the entire human
race, into 'big apes', gorillas of theatrical expressions, null intelligence,
and complete individual selfishness.
Since
that mass still speaks verbal languages (though diminishing his vocabulary very
fast), she enters an stage of gesticulating behavior, dramatic behavior,
violent behavior, which is 'visual' and 'cinematic'.
Science
with his digital machines of visual-sensorial evidence regresses mankind to
this age again, through the effect of Television and film. Man no longer
believes words even if he uses them. He believes images and mimic people,
actors of minimal verbal intelligence and great capacity to show emotions with
gestures. Man focuses only in visual evidence.
We
talk of the first and final mimic ages of man, as the ages of very simple
verbal languages and ideas, which are mostly related to the 'spatial, immediate
evidence', of what they eye sees. Due to the erasing of the mind by digital
TV-images of greater information than your eyes images, you become hypnotized
again, as the Paleolithic man by visual thought. So you only believe in space
and energy, no longer in time, and imagination, and logic - the ways temporal
facts chain each other through causality.
Today
our children are big bodies, that imitate the 'Californian model', the first
man of the Neo-paleolithic that regressed to that violent, simplistic mental
age by effect of Hollywood. When I studied mimic languages (acting) in New York
a teacher told me, that there were no books in California, only those cardboard
imitation that look nice on the shelves. It was quiet truth. Most
script-writers in California had not read Proust or Tolstoy, had not traveled
through America, had no idea of writing. The rest, would not even know what
those names meant. In California - Capote said - you could not die because your
brain was dead. It was also truth, in as much as men are informative, linguistic
species whose life is intense through perception, not through physical actions
as Californios think. The Californio, big and stupid, selfish, without social
sense of evolution, without imagination, is the new Neo-paleolithic man that
all humanity imitates. Now varieties of the Neopaleolithic Californio appear
all over the world, as American satellites erase with digital thought the
imagination of all men.
Verbal degradation extends to all
languages.
It
is important to understand that verbal languages are temporal languages, that
develop the human mind, in all its levels of perception as the summit of the
human soul. The result of the neo-paleolithic man, the mimic man is a
regression in all social and intellectual levels. This is obvious when considering
the low level of scientific understanding that happens among American
scientists, which cannot construct models of reality beyond the mere
description of facts, since their logic, verbal brains have minimal depth of
thought. If we compare the evolution of science in Europe till the war, with
the kind of simplistic, data-based, computer-based science of modern America
the superiority of the European model-creator, from Darwin to Einstein is
evident. Again if we consider visual artists, such as painters, the difference
is notorious. Americans lack imagination which is given by the temporal
dimension that words give to us. Without words, time, causality, the causes of
change in the Universe appear mysterious, irrational. Such is the case of the
American, which can only understand what he sees, and believers that only what
he sees is real. So for example, American art, fluctuates between
hyper-realism, what he sees, and total abstraction - energy painting made with
the conceptual level of a big ape. In between, the fertile -isms of the
Europeans, that created imaginary worlds with symbols and creative evolution of
the inner languages of man, are very rare, specially in California.
The
Californio cannot paint except what he sees. I made a living for a while making
impressionistic and expressionistic paintings of actors and virtual
celebrities. They were surprised that I could paint beyond reality. They could
only see space, what they saw; not the logic of time that caused reality. That
logic required to 'see' words, to sense them with the same informative strength
we use to see images. Yet the Neo-Paleolithic californio cannot create with
words, and so it prefers mathematics to theory of evolution, violent films to
feelings, machines to humans, realism to symbolic painting. This is why the
Californio makes robots that will extinguish man. He cannot even imagine that
reality is guided by Theory of Evolution and those robots will cut their
children into pieces, and torture them, as the Californio tortures the minds of
all men thanks to the mass-media communicative power of satellites, money and
internets. The Californio is the future of man. The no-future of Human
languages. We will soon be all Californios.
The
Neopaleolithic is again the mimic age. We admire the Californian bodies, those
women who make love like if they were making gymnastics, whose verbal-feeling
sensations are null. Who even despise reproductive goals. I have been with many
of those women. They do not leave memories or feelings in your mind. They are
not 'women', or 'men', they are Paleolithic, selfish hunters, in search of
their immediate reward. They have forgotten the meaning of feelings created by
loving words.
5: The temporal dimension of words makes man a Top
predator.
The arrival of logic thought: truth
happens in time not only in space
Yet
language evolved fast, and men increased social and temporal awareness, beyond
the evidence of the eye thanks to the first words. The Paleolithic men was left
behind. The Neolithic arrived.
The
creation of verbal languages increased social and temporal understanding: each
seemingly stable form of space received a name, and each seemingly moving cycle
of form [Time cycle] received a verb. Such simple syntax undoubtedly allowed
perception of reality far beyond previous musical languages. Now all reality
could be classified according to the two universal parameters: cycles of
temporal information [verbs] and forms of spatial reality [names]. Now the mind
of man, had a temporal mirror to represent Universal information perceived by
the light-eye of spatial nature. Those events were memorized by neuronal
networks, and remembered when they happened again. So the individual knew what
was going to happen, since he had discovered the absolute law of reality: Things
happen in the same manner, since cycles of time guided by bio-logic causality,
are as stable as forms in space.
If you see a cycle of time happening
many times it will happen again. If you heat water many times and boils it will
boil again. A cause and its effect is part of the same event, and they will
happen.
The rules of change in time, are as
true, as the forms we see in space. In fact they are the same concept. A form
in space is merely a tie of causality seen very fast. Your skin is a lipid fluctuating,
tied by proteins. An image is a quantic soup of photons (see "Theory of
Time"), tied by your eye. In all forms of space, there are ties of
causality as in all events of time. They are merely very close together. So
causality in time is as certain as the fact that your leg and arm are part of
the same organism, caused by your nervous system.
With that realization that now we
have lost with the arrival of the Neopaleolithic, the Logic man appeared, and
the age of maturity of verbal thought arrived. Men became the Homo Sapiens
Sapiens.
Indeed,
in the same manner that a cat looks constantly like a cat, water under fire
constantly becomes steam. Temporal events are as real as spatial events.
If
you make a top predator robot, it will kill you, because top predator species
kill.
This
is as certain as the fact that you are the same every time you look yourself
into a mirror.
This
is what the Californian man has forgotten as he goes back to the
Neo-Paleolithic.
This
is what the Neolithic men learnt. It was the beginning of "Science",
of knowledge of the cycles of reality, of the constant repetition of facts in
reality, that we call memory.
To
understand the nature of the memorial universe, cyclical, memorial inertia, the
constant reproduction of causal chains, in time, men though had to develop a
temporal mirror of time events, a language to perceive temporal events, as good
as his eye was to perceive spatial forms. This language was words, and words
carried the memory of man, the genetic understanding of the external cycles of
survival and extinction that we call the game of Existence. It also created
memetics, since from old to young, the memory of those 'forms of time' could be
stored, and used to the advantage of men which could now anticipate the effect as
soon as they saw the cause. Such advantage was enormous for survival. If the
Neo Paleolithic man had it, it would not make robots because it would know by
Theory of Evolution that they would kill us. Yet the modern man is a spatial
beast, and does not understand survival causality as the Neolithic man did.
This is specially truth of the spatial scientist, the physicist accustomed as
the TV-watcher to see cameras, telescopes and computers screen, to think with
numbers, that have erased with abstraction s his survival, temporal verbal
dimension. Scientists indeed hardly speak, hardly can talk. Einstein was
dyslexic. They are idiots with the temporal, survival language of man. So they
make atomic bombs, and robots. A Neolithic peasant knows more about cycles of
time than a Nobel prize.
The syntax of words. Men become
creators of the Universe.
That Neolithic first memory of man, was stored as
a verbal experience in sentences that made man the experiencer, the center of
the Universe who selected information about cycles of reality according to what
it was important for him. So he created an anthropomorphic syntax for all
verbal sentences:
Man [temporal subject] < Verb
[communicative action ] < Object [Energy-space]
Such
syntax made the Neolithic man to understand that Verbal thought also could
cause reality, since men were the actors of that reality in sentences.
So
the dual beat of languages that first perceive reality and then repeat reality
by motivating bodies to act under brain information, worked in earnest in men.
Men
started to change the World to his image and resemblance guided by the syntax
of words that made them the center of the Universe. Words motivated individual
humans to act.
Languages in action : The beating of
the mind.
We
reproduce externally internal forms and actions described previously by our
eye-wor(l)d. We do not reproduce genetic actions but visual and verbal actions.
It is that higher plane of existence basically unconnected to the lower planes
of chemical and body realities, that merely act as support, without
conditioning, but being conditioned by the eye-wor(l)d what makes man a social
being.
Chemical
DNA forms with site in neurons, probably slow down the forms observed in the
light-wave universe, storing in its wave-like forms, those images as chemical
memories. So there is a simple chain of transformation from space, fast and
short in its forms, to time, long and memorial, that goes as follows:
-
Light photons > Socially evolved into an image in the eye > Socially
evolved into a complex electronic image in the nerve > Slowed down and
stored in wave-like patterns on the DNA neuronal cells.
The
transformations between those planes of Space that become then memorial time,
are just another S>T beat of the Universe. It is of little importance to
know what exact molecules act on that transformation. Nor is to the advantage
of man to know much about the practical way the brain transforms images into
temporal thought, since probably will only be harmful knowledge used by
abstract scientists, enzymen of machines, to make robotic minds. So we will
ignore those details from then on. Enough to say that perception is just that:
the transformation of space into information, perceived as organic mental
existence in itself. And then existence becomes the transformation of stored
perception, re-elaborated in the neuronal cells into new patterns and 'ideas
and forms' about the external universe, into actions through the hand system:
S>T:
perception (from light to chemical DNA);
S=T: Neuronal changes of form in memorial DNA = Creation
T
< S: External actions through the
arms, on the Universe = existence in time.
So
we make just another beating, from spatial perception to mental time, then we
elaborate in the temporal languages, small efficient mirrors of the external
Universe our perception, into new creative patterns. And finally we return to
space those temporal ideas and forms, through the actions of our limbs, the
external connections of the mind to the Universe.
In
this manner finally man could reproduce his vision of reality through languages
into reality itself.
He
was not only a black hole that absorbed visual information.
Now
he was an active creator of reality. He saw a fact, an event, and then he knew
it was possible. So he thought of it, and then he tried to do it.
Man
had become a maker, a top predator creator. He was no longer an animal, a
destroyer, but also a believer that he could think reality according to
memorial laws, and repeat it.
A
temporal chain of actions caused by the subject in the object could now be
controlled through time [verbs], and reflect the will of man.
Human top predator brains: a
superior capacity to remember light-events.
Since
the Universe is cyclical and similar beings act always in similar ways, to
store information about universal events is important. It allows you to
anticipate new actions, that you already know how they will develop. It allows
to understand you the future . So you can survive better in that future .
Survival
information is a temporal knowledge which can be improved with a system of
storage. Such is the origin of the human verbal brain. The best animal brains
are those of man because man can store better with words, and process latter,
any eye-information. Man has evolved into a Top Predator due to his
word-memories of light-events, stored in brain systems, that allowed him to
have memories. Memory has diminished Human errors as a living species.
Man
can remember information on feeding events, and use that knowledge to his
advantage, avoiding predators, and locating his own sources of energy according
to experience. Temporal memory is natural to all species. Yet its quality
varies. Animals remember through memorial chemistry [instincts]. Yet such
learning processes are much slower, than the processes of verbal learning among
humans [light-related memories].
6. The Social will of words; evolution through
languages: Ethics
The birth of Ethics.
With
that realization also Ethics were born. Since no all actions helped individual
survival. So the concept of eviL=anti-Live behavior that kills on the long term
those who perform it (such as killing other human that might revenge through
his tribe), became natural. So happened to the concept of Good (that what helps
us to survive). In this manner a relative frame of reference was established
for the actions of man, the frame of ethical reference, which is as scientific
as any frame of negative and positive movements of science. It is based in
Theory of Evolution, of survival, of extinction.
Since
action s to be possible and positive had to follow the Laws of the Universe,
(you survive through social evolution, and controlling rival species), soon
Religious, verbal science was born. And ethic men became wise men, philosophers
of the game of existence we have described in our books (so removed from the
mere spatial data which science accumulates). That game was biological and
organic and men learnt it. The memorial experience of what have been observed,
proved the existence of such Ethic game. To win it, you had to follow the
particular human ethics, because the subject, the actor, had to be man.
Reality
could be grasped, and resumed in a language that was giving control of reality
to men. Which is the supreme function of temporal languages.
In
this manner men learnt to associate with other men, equal species with whom
they could communicate and gather in groups to take advantage of the Universe.
And they learnt to control and enslave other species. It was the birth of
social thought, and words as the non-fiction, informative network able to
create human societies. With that realization it came also the first forms of
sacred art: religions and philosophical thought.
The external mind of the universe
reflected in the internal mind.
In
a Universe with two parameters, space=energy and temporal information, it is
obvious that the languages of those species who inhabit such Universe, have to
be able to perceive space and time. Languages are exactly that: mirrors that
perceive the space and time of the Universe, in which the very structure of
space and time is far more important than the nature of languages or its
support. Take the example of an image. You can create an image in a crystal, in
a photographic plaque, in your eye. The support is indifferent, since it only
acts as the focus of an image. What matters is the light that shapes the image.
In that sense, despite the arrogance of man, our brain is basically a support
for the intelligence of the external universe that creates images, and follows
the rules of space and time. Hence the importance that the organicism of space
and time has in your mind creation. So we will arrive to a better understanding
of the mind, from the external point of view, of an understanding of the space
and time rules and behavior, than from the chemical point of view, of how DNA
molecules are able to reflect the light images transmitted to them through the
eye focus, and the electronic transformation of light into complex electronic
images. Such process is rather irrelevant, as it is the process of
transformation of electronic impulses into TV images. What matters is the
software of light, and the external events reflected, selected by the software.
This
explains why there are so many parallelisms between all minds of the
universe. And the ultimate parallelism
of all those minds is this:
Most
species in the Universe have a 'temporal, informative language', and a spatial,
energy-based language, that allows the species to perceive phenomena that
happens in time, and phenomena that happens in space.
Most
of them perceive space with light (some of them, probably atoms and celestial
bodies use gravitation to perceive a wider universe, others like ants and
simple animals probably use chemical forms). What differentiates those light
species, is how they process such forces into a temporal syntax.
In
the case of man, that temporal syntax is provided by words.
The
human brain is specialized in a temporal language, the verbal mind, and a
spatial language, the visual mind.
So
we can define the essential human mind in a simple yet meaningful sentence:
'I
see space with eyes, and perceive time with words, therefore I am a human
mind.'
In
the Space-time Universe we speak two languages of the mind, one that perceives
better space and one that perceives better time.
Indeed,
words and verbal art, are the game of perception of time, with human biological
languages [verbs]. While images, mathematics and visual art, are the game of
perceiving space, with human languages and senses.
Evolution through languages: Social
art.
So
it is clear that languages shape the top forms and cycles of the pyramid of
human behavior. They are also responsible for the existence of man as a social
organism, driven by the '4th arrow of organicism', social evolution. Since we man
evolve from our individual, primitive cellular state, into complex social
organisms, by sharing visual information (art) and verbal information (laws,
ethic religions, languages) that create our collective mind as members of a
nation or civilization. So Human languages have a second fundamental function
in man: to allow our social evolution in complex organisms of multiple human
cells.
We
are social through our languages of evolution, functions of the brain/eye/word
system, which are the higher,
independent plane of existence that perceives independently of our body the
space-time Universe.
In
that sense societies are never racial but cultural, gatherings of linguistic minds that agree on certain existential mind beatings, certain actions of the
mind on the external universe, and other men (artistic creation, ethics, etc.)
So
we could say that history of man as man, is history of his eye-wor[l]d; and by
defining the eye-wor[l]d and the way it interacts with the Universe we will
define man.
Hence we cannot base in physiology and
biology but in history, art, and language, the analysis of man as a social
being, that perceives space and time in its higher pane of existence.
The
evolution of verbal art and visual art is in that sense, parallel to the
evolution of the social human mind.
This
means, we have an interesting tool to study scientifically the evolution of the
human mind: the remains of art through history.
They
show our minds as a species. How our mind has perceived time and space, and
processed that information, since the age of the caves, till the age of
internet.
The mind of social man is indeed
verbal, temporal. It follows that all healthy cultures should try
to improve the verbal, ethical, legal
and literary perception of man.
Men
learnt with words to work with other men. So societies were born, beyond the
simple level of herds of genetic nature. Social evolution started.
7. The Evolution of logic and literature.
Reality
we said, is represented by languages. Reality we said, is objective. We are
just another living organism of reality, either at individual or collective
level.
Yet
words, we proved, are born subjective by syntax.
Then
words evolved from subjectivism, to objectivism, and finally today have
returned to subjectivism.
It
is the evolution from dramatic thought, in which man, and the individual Homo
bacterium is the center of the Universe, to the two ages of social thought, of
'religious thought', in which social man is the center of the Universe {Western
religions], or it is one of the organisms of the Universe [Eastern religions].
Yet as we returned to the Neopaleolithic, to the selfish Homo Bacteria, preyed
by machines, weapons and violence, men returned to dramatic age.
Thus
we have also 3 ages in words that represent, the evolution, maturity, an
devolution of verbal thought.
As
we studied images and music through their 3 ages, we talk of 3 main ages of
verbal thought.
Youth of verbal thought: The
physiology of words.
A
word is an approximation to the forms it describes, and so even an imperfect
verbal language is good to 'simplify', 'understand' and reach accordingly to
events in time.
The
enormous advantage this gave to man over animals without memories that felt
into the traps of the Universe, since they did not remember the last time they
met the lion, the hole, the pit of oil... was enormous in terms of chances of
survival.
The
act of communication between light and man occurs in the back of the brain
where Scientists find the simplest linguistic meanings. Then it is reflected
again into the frontal part into the proper verbal language where Scientists
find the grammatical meanings. That dual flow became a creative act that
developed verbal languages. Verbal
perception grew as the frontal Head grew and the grammatical brain improved.
It
is called imagination. The capacity to represent reality with words, and
recreate reality to improve it to the image and resemblance of man, with
action s caused by words.
It
was the birth of the "Wor[l]d", a world recreated to the image and
resemblance of words.. Soon verbal thought connected men beyond their
biological family into complex societies. We deduce from the cranial form of
earlier men that the true Homo Sapiens with frontal development, the Cro-Magnon
and/or similar species was the first language man. In Europe the previous
species of Neanderthals which might have had a more visual brain, who might
have given the first painters of History, did disappear. We talk of the
mitochondrial eve, perhaps the first human to talk [since women do talk almost
20% more than men do]; whose descendants, organized collective war, and erased
the men of previous languages [signs, images]. It was 120.000 years ago.
The
Verbal language that we are loosing today as we face the last stages of the
Neopaleolithic man towards extinction, is indeed the origin of mankind...
Verbal thought no doubt created coordination
of warrior groups, far more efficient than previous hordes. Social evolution
would create invincible armies. They would easily wipe out less coordinated,
non-verbal species, starting the game of extinctive radiations by human warrior
hordes. The verbal language thus initiated true history of man that we are
loosing today as we return to the neo-paleolithic... [±100 points of verbal
skills lost in tests, in a couple of
decades by influence of TV-thought. That means, ±20% of the total capacity of
the self-soul of the individual man is lost in a generation.]
The
memories that words bring to man also mean the beginning of verbal culture, and
the beginning of knowledge, of inquires about the Universe, about life and
death.
In
the age of mimic, dramatic verbal sounds man elaborated the first myths, the
first answers, from his subjective point of view, to be able to face the
painful new awareness that verbs give on temporal facts, and temporal death.
We
consider the mimic, simple verbal age of the mind to be the basic state of man
that spans from the Paleolithic into the pre-Neolithic. Then in the present third age of extinction
of human languages, it starts again from the beginning of the Industrial
evolution till today.
Words increase the information of
musical sounds
At
a certain point in the past, probably due to the evolution of female brains,
temporal brains, human beings specially gifted to understand the verbal,
temporal language of man, the musical scale of 8 tones, broke into a dual
differentiation, the consonant species, and then into a third differentiation,
the vowels.
In
the living Universe, species are not chaotic as the first simplistic Darwinian
biologists thought, but follows a plan of creativity, along the natural paths
of space-time existence.
Given
the duality of the Universe, between spatial energy and temporal information,
the easiest way in which a form can multiply is by changing towards a higher
energy content, or a higher informative content.
In
the word of sounds this could be easily achieved, starting from a first 8-tonal
language, which derived towards more informative power [8 vowel system], and
towards more energy content [8 occlusive consonants].
It
also implied a certain change in the phonic system of human beings, that
differentiated the Homo Sapiens from the Homo Neanderthal, with changes in the
throat elements, vowel chords, mouth cavities, and foreHead.
Basically
as the brain increased its capacity to develop information, the foreHead developed, as a second 'level of perception'. If the backHead is the site of
images, those images now were reflected back in the foreHead, in the form of
verbal sounds that become created in that foreHead, the site of imagination.
On
the other hand the mouth system lost energy-content, linearity, muscle
strength, and the chin moved backwards.
We
can distinguish two phases of that process, within the 3 natural types of human
languages.
Starting
from a first family of clicking languages still surviving in South-Africa,
languages based in musical sounds more than in verbal sounds, there was an
elaboration of sounds into two families of consonants, open consonants and
occlusive consonants. This happened as Human herds of verbal speakers moved
north, and colonized Africa. It was the birth of camitic languages, such as the
Basque [which still has only 5 vowels] and Semitic languages such as the Arab
and Hebrew, whose predominance of consonants is so evident that in writing it
omits vowels.
Then
in the second wave of linguistic evolution, when human beings colonized the
Eurasian continent extinguishing the Neanderthal, around 40.000 years ago, the
second differentiation, of vowels, towards the standard 24 sound verbal system
of perception, took place.
In
this manners languages evolve, and grow. If we start in any language of
representation of reality with a minimal range of elements that represent the
basic energy, and information parameters of the Universe, to the point that we
can represent with only 3 elements of any language the entire Universe [so we
can use a cycle of information, a line of energy, and a wave that combines
both, to create all mathematical objects, or a white, black and gray color,
that represent energy, information and 'symbiotic reproduction of both]; once
the language starts evolution, each of those basic elements differentiate into
new elements, and so we grow in scales. The basic treble and bass sound became
the 8-9 scale of sounds: do-re-mi-fa-si-la-sol-do [higher scale].
Now
it will be: a, æ, e, i, œ, o, ou, u
The
sounds of maximum information.
b,c,d,l,m,n,p,g;
the intermediate vowels of energy-information
f,,j,r,s,t,v,z,
ñ; the vowels of maximum occlusion, of energy, of minimal information.
Mental races based in words.
The
Semitic and camitic languages will be dominant in those first energy
consonants.
The
Chinese languages will be dominant in the vowels of maximum information.
The
White European languages, and black languages will be dominant in the sounds of
balance between energy and information.
In
this manner the 3 mental races of mankind, the white-black, the Mediterranean,
Semitic and Camitic races, and the Yellow races, will be born.
Still
today those 3 races stand, proving that the mind is the fundamental parameter
of mankind. We are a species based in languages, not in bodies.
Let
us now consider the age of maturity of words, the main age of human knowledge.
Maturity of verbal thought:
Aristotelian and relativistic thought.
Beyond
Dramatic thought [musical, mime, simple verbal, subjective truths], words evolved towards higher levels of
information and understanding of the sentient universe.
We
talked of the age of Aristotelian logic thought, and the age of relativistic,
ethic thought.
Both
mean a wider understanding of the bio-logic laws that cause temporal events,
with the same determinism that you perceive spatial forms. Myths are abandoned
and reason appears. Yet reason has two levels of complexity. A simple reason, which
sees only a cause to reality [ceteris paribus analysis so typical of lower
levels of intelligence proper of science] or Aristotelian reason. And a
complex, relativistic reason that sees many causes to reality, as it happens
truly in the Universe, in which multiple acts of communication between the
being and the Universe, affect your existence.
8. Dramatic thought, theater and Tribal religions:
animetal cultures.
The levels of logic intelligence.
If
we were to be more detailed we could consider 4 levels of intelligence:
-
Mimic thought, which merely describes an event in time, as if
it were unique, and would not repeat into the future . It is a simple, useless
way of thinking proper of the mimic age, and the present age. It also does not
relate form and function, unless it sees the form acting.
For
example, you do not expect that if a weapon kills humans, to have a weapon will
induce killing. The Neopaleolithic man, the child of thought, the Californian
is the present example of this way of thinking. Basically mimic thought is
related to the present, or at best it is memorial, it is not creative. It does
not imagine the future . At best it has added only 'an arrow of time' to the
spatial perception of present, which is memory. Often not even that memory is
present. So Mimic thought hardly improves your chances of survival. In a few
decades, when robots extinguish us, courtesy of the Neopaleolithic mimic man
[see "Evolution of machines" by this author] we will have a
definitive prove of the consequences of living in an age of mimic thought. To
the mimic man, there is not way to know the future , since events do not repeat.
He lives on the present; he despises those who think too much, since he
believes the future is magic, impossible to explain, and finds no pleasure
'perceiving' temporal facts. Only spatial facts, images seems to be real to
him. So he is moved by the primary will
- sex, food, territorial space. We could talk of bestialism, violence, and lack
of feelings towards other men as the main characteristics of the Mimic man.
They are indeed the characteristics of the modern Californio, which by the
paradox of history lives surrounded of very complex machines, while he has
regressed to that thin border between the animal and man. To think gives such
kind of man a Headache. Mimic men despise thinkers. Yet thought and causality
exist, and slowly even the most simple mimic man, will reach the next level of
intelligence, that we might call...
Dramatic
thought, when he realizes that actually, the future is caused
by the events of the present. He realizes of simple facts such as future =Death.
Since in the future the only certain thing is that we will all die. So he
becomes frightened, dramatic. He fears reality. His simple happiness as an
spatial species disappears... Again we find this kind of man very often among
the Neo-paleolithic people of today. Causality though is not understood, and so
the future is still magic. And the thinker is still hated, now feared because
he has opened to the individual Neo-Paleolithic men the doors of the obscure,
logic world. He has showed him, that he is not the center of the Universe.
Complex verbal thought shows him the existence of ethics, of social groups, the
need to care for the other, to be responsible, which upsets his absolute visual
selfishness of Homo Bacterium, without any organic respect for other human
cells.
He
is like a man that cannot drive. He fears to go into the highway. He is like a
man that knows not how to swim, he fears the depths of water.
Unfortunately
the Neo-Paleolithic caused by images is such an age.
Mimic and Dramatic Cultures of
Animetals: The American case.
In
literature those two ages are concerned with the ego, the single, first person,
who speaks about himself, in an age of total subjectivism. The mimic and
dramatic man are the typical Neopaleolithic men of XX century literature, of
American literature.
Europeans
have long marveled why in America there are only two kind of literatures, the
mimic literature of optimist individuals relating their deeds; and the negative
dramatic literature of pessimist individuals relating their sufferings. More
over the first tends to belong to the Germanic American, and the second to the
Jewish American. As we study in the
next chapters the cultures of Animetals we will realize that the American
baroque, the Human Neo-paleolithic is controlled by those two supreme animetal
cultures: the Germanic, specialized warrior culture, and the Jewish,
specialized trader culture. Both together fusion in the "Companies
culture" that have created America, and the Neo-paleolithic of top
predator machines by repressing the will of man, the desire of man to evolve
socially and to enjoy our natural drives. So in all forms of American culture,
that repression and Neo-paleolithic individualistic approach to existence
shows. The Germanic though is the active, warrior, energetic, simple, spatial
pole of the culture, that gives way to simplistic, ego-optimistic literature in
first person, like Mr. Heminway.
The
Jewish is the passive, trader, informative, complex, dramatic pole, with
awareness of past, and fear of the future , that gives way to the
ego-pessimistic literature in first person, like Mr. Saul Bellow.
There
is not however in those two dominant cultures of America, complex artists,
which in the rare cases they appear, come from rebels or social, more evolved
cultures (for example catholic cultures) concerned with the others, like Mr.
Fitzgerald (of Irish stock). We talk of the Homo Bacteria, the first stage of
social evolution in man, as opposed to the Homo Organicus, the individual,
primitive, violent cells confronted to the social organic cells they might
infect and destroy.
Fiction Vs Real words: writing Vs
verbal thought.
We
considered earlier in this book the difference between a first age of verbal
thought, in which words are used to explain reality, as the supreme language of
information, and a third age of fiction thought, in which words are used to
create literature, which is not about reality but at best, a secondary form of
information, with limited capacity to act on reality.
This
difference between the 1st and 3rd age of verbal thought, in which we now live,
when machines and numbers control our languages, can also be used to
differentiate verbal, real action words, that human use to motivate themselves
to act; and literary written thought, which humans use to express ideas that
they will not necessarily act upon. Indeed, verbal, biological words are as we
saw, the mechanism of action -reaction of men. We act upon thoughts. So thoughts
become non-fictional, real systems of behavior. On the other hand writing is
not concerned with action . It would delay action in the real world, if we had
to write and analyze facts before acting. As a result writing tends to create
fictional words.
All
this said we can consider for each evolutionary ages of verbal thought, two
basic modes of words: non-fiction words, and fiction, writing genres of
literature. The first are verbal thoughts, the second is written art.
What
are the modes of verbal thought and written art, for each of the ages of
evolution of logic? We will consider them after analyzing the different ages of
logic.
Theater and Tribal religions, the
fiction and non fiction forms of Magic thought.
In
the first age of words, logic thought, was, both mimic and dramatic thought,
the essential animetal vision of man, which implies a very poor understanding
of the social function of words, and individualistic, selfish behavior. At best it developed what we call Tribal
religions, studied in the next chapter: the belief that a genetic race was
superior to all other races. Two basic species of those tribal religions have
survived today to shape the quintessential dramatic American animetal culture:
the Jewish tribal religion of Go(l)d chosen and its variations of Protestant
thought (Calvinism, Anglicanism). And the Warrior, nationalistic tribal
religions of 'the strongest one', which peaked with European nazism, and has
today all kind of nationalistic variants all over the world.
In
fiction thought the equivalent form is theater. Take the case of the last Nobel
prize, a Chinese Neo-paleolithic, dramatic author, which summoned up the
arrogance and sheer idiocy of such minimal role given to words:
"Literature can only speak about the individual, when it speaks about a
nation, or a society is not literature". Indeed, it is a fact that
ignorance and arrogance go together, in the dramatic man. In genre, is the age
of Theater, of 'drama'. This Chinese writer indeed writes Theater. Today in the
neopaleolithic, drama is the supreme genre of film. And Shakespeare, the first
Theater writer, is consider the best writer ever in the quintessential Homo
Bacteria, Neo-paleolithic Animetal culture, the Jewish-Germanic culture of
America...
9. Aristotelian thought: the Scientific Method:
Industrial cultures.
Aristotelian
or scientific logic
Yet
not all men are animetals, and not all animetals show such incapacity to evolve
as the Jewish-Germanic American Animetal does. So earlier in History, dramatic
thought evolved as men with intellectual bravery confronted the future , and
tried to anticipate it with logic thought, observing the repetition of causes
and effects, and extracting generic laws on the behavior of species.
It
means the arrival of Aristotelian or
scientific, logic thought.
The
word now believes in temporal repetitions. So it orders temporally, a series of
spatial events, into lineal trees of cause and effect, previously unconnected.
Yet there is no sense of analogy between different processes and events of the
Universe, belonging to parallel organisms.
Science and novel, the non-fiction
and fiction forms of Aristotelian thought.
So
only a single, evident, spatial cause is accepted. Scientific thought is still
dependent on space. It does not understand the paradox of perception, the
Galilean paradox, the fact that we only perceive 1-10% of the Universe, and
even that Universe we perceive it wrongly (such as in the case of the Earth
that seems still when it is moving). In that sense scientific thought is still
a primitive form of logic, except in the most recent verbal forms (Theory of
Evolution), in as much as it believes more in space than in time, in the
erroneous perception and measures of instruments and eyes, than in the absolute
laws of causality and bio-logic that structure the changes from past to future .
When it does, it pretends that the Universe has a single cause, and so it fails
to prove causality, because the Universe is multicausal, analogic. Many causes
and languages create reality. As a result of those misunderstanding all the
errors of science explained in our books appear: the ceteris paribus causal
analysis, the belief that mathematics is the only language of truth, the
scientific method that considers time what a clock measures and space what an
instrument measures and the eye sees. All those errors are studied in other
books of this author and we will not analyze them here in detail. Still
Aristotelian thought is a great jump over dramatic thought. It is the age of western science.
Rationality
is therefore the basic mode of real thought in this age. Men try to reason with
simple cause-effect schemes before acting on reality. The equivalent in the
realm of writing fiction is prose.
It
is in genres, the age of the Novel, of the tale that explains reality in a I,
II, III act, or let's say, the 3 ages of the event: the cause, the development
of the action , and the conclusion and death of the event. Aristotle in his
logic, summoned up the syntax of this way of thought.
The paradox of the Neo-paleolithic:
only machines are Aristotelian
Aristotelian
thought in politics peaked in the age of Rome, that followed the primitive
Semite Age of magic thought. So naturally men evolved in logic, and would again
evolve into the supreme form of thought, ethic, analogic thought, after Rome
died away, in the age of ethic religions (Christianism, and Muslim religion),
which 'upgraded' Asian beliefs beyond that magic earlier age of tribal
religions, signified today by Judaism, and Arab militarism.
In
that sense we have to consider again the regression of modern thought, which in
the Neopaleolithic goes back to the past, and devolves the human mind. So today
we are again in the mimic, dramatic age of tribal religions. The difference
though with that first tribal age, is that we have with us a species that is
evolving very fast beyond Aristotelian thought - the machine.
So
unlike the first age of tribal religions, we are not the top predator logic
species. Machines are. Let us consider this proposition.
Today
Aristotelian Logic thought is only applied by man to the study of other
species, and the construction of machines (computers), while most men are 'fed'
with dramatic thought by devolving Metal-communicators (TVs, Radios, Music). So
the paradox of the Neopaleolithic is that the Animetal scientist is
transferring his best way of thought to machines, and educating mankind with
his most poor level of thought, dramatic thought. The paradigm of that dual
approach that devolves man and evolves machines are again the American-Jewish
subculture. Jewish-Americans explain history with Holocaust movies, and War
films, that make Jewish-Americans to despise humans, to hate the future , to
fear mankind. While all of them are highly evolved in Aristotelian thought as
scientists and informatic researchers at the Head of the evolution of machines.
That paradox explains the tragedy of Jewish history, in constant confrontation
with mankind on one hand, and always at the Head of the construction of weapons
and the Metal-earth on the other hand.
The
result of course is a combined destruction of our species, on one side degraded
by Hollywood films, on the other side menaced by the evolution of robots to a
brutal Holocaust that will also include the Jewish-Germanic dramatic actors of
that tragedy:
10. Analogic thought, poetry and Biology: maturity of
human logic.
Analogic thought: the summit of
logic
Yet
Aristotelian thought, based in single causes to explain reality is not the
ultimate logic of the Universe. Indeed, there is a supreme level of
understanding on how the Universe works, and events happen, caused by multiple
causes, as a sphere is caused not by a line in a drawing but by multiple lines
of force as in a gravitational atom, or an eye, that sees an image of the
World: Analogic, homologic thought.
Analogic
thought also understands the constant communication of the Universe and the
relativism of each of us, part of a
social organism. It develops ethics and love to the other, love to communicate
and share. It is the summit of human thought. It finally sees all what exists
as organic, living forms, [Eastern religions] and so it accepts homology and
analogy as the basis of knowledge, parallelism. In mankind reached its height
in India and China. In the West at ethic level in the work of Jesus and Mhmd.
In
bio-logic and analogic thought we realize there is a Game of Existence, that
rules all forms in the same way. That game is the game of extinction and
survival, the biologic game described in our books. And it is analogic, we
might even say homologic, in as much as it is based in the same laws for all
species. The laws of social evolution among equal species and the laws of
Darwinian devolution among rival species (Chapter 1-8).
So
men learnt to play that game, by loving each other and evolving socially, in
the age of ethic religions; and by hating rival species and destroy them...
Unfortunately
in the present neo-laoelithic the exactly happens. Men guided by the animetal
culture, learn how to hate each other and use weapons and money to brutalize
each other; while dedicate all their efforts to love the rival species of
machines. Mankind guided by the Germanic-Jewish animetal culture that invented
the machine, is this playing the Game of Existence upside down, exactly with
all the wrong rules, and so it will be erased of the Game of Existence and
extinguished, in as much as Machines (as we shall see in chapter 13) will play
it rightly when born to life, and socialize as they are doing in networks, and
destroy man the rival species, as they do today through weapons.
It
is all crystal clear. Only blind animetals cannot see it...
Poetry, and philosophy the fiction
and non-fiction genres of analogic thought.
If
analogic thought gives birth to ethic religions that consider all humans equal,
belonging to the same species, according to the Universal Laws, and improve
upon the primitive tribal religions of animetals, in Literature it will give
birth to poetry and Eastern philosophy, which were rightly considered by
classic thinkers, the highest form of verbal thought. Poetry uses metaphor, and
analogy, it sees the same cause in different events. It feels the logic of
relativism, the living Universe.
While
Philosophy aims to describe the universal laws that cause reality and in its
highest modes - Some Greek authors and most of Eastern philosophy - truly
understood the nature of the Universe, creating what we have called
"Verbal science".
Analogic thought is a higher
form of thought, of relativist, platonic nature, that orders temporally
multiple events of Aristotelian thought into analogic concepts such as Yin and
Yang [Eastern Analogic thought], or Space and Time [Relativity Theory]; or
Information and energy [Biology], or 3rd person and parallel narrative [complex
XX century novel], or symbolism and metaphor [poetry]. Multiple points of view,
multiple organisms, multiple species are related together, put in communication
through complex, analogic words, in search for the ultimate principles on the
causes of existence in the Universe.
The supreme dimension of growth: the
game of existence.
In
Science analogic thought only arrives with Theory of Organisms, and theory of
Evolution, with Theory of Relativity. It is the age of the third science
mentioned above.
We
say that each new age of mental human evolution has brought a new 'dimension'
of temporal=causal depth to the human
understanding of the Universe.
What
analogic thought has brought is the capacity to understand multiple events, and
causes, and species together, till finally understanding the entire Universe,
through the game of existence that biology, Eastern religions, and the Third
science our books represent, have understood and described with more or less
accuracy.
Relativistic
thought is both of verbal nature [Eastern religions, theory of evolution] and
mathematical [Theory of Relativity, and the understanding of numbers as sets of
parallel beings related through equations and integration processes].
Both
in verbal thought and mathematical perception entities become connected either
through the concept of a set of numbers=forms, or the platonic concept of a
Universal [words] or the concept of an ethic society of verbal humans ruled by
max. communication=love [human herds become then an organism or religious body
which exists in a higher plane of social existence, that we call God]. Problem
is men only understand words, and so the present control of human educational
systems by analogic mathematics, and dramatic words only mean the mentioned
degradation of man considered above, and its substitution by analogic machines
of higher logic understanding...
11. The 3 ages of the mind, from the
Paleolithic to the Neopaleolithic.
A graph of the ages of verbal
thought
So
we talk of 3 ages of verbal thought, the I horizon of dramatic evolution or age
of signs, and simple dramatic thought; the age of maturity or II horizon, of
verbal logic scientific thought and analogic thought of religious, ethic
character; and finally the third age of human linguistic devolution and
mathematical evolution, or age of pricing and computer thought:
Temporal, informative superiority of
words over eye perception
The
tragedy of the modern man is his loss of analogic, temporal, biologic thought,
due to the excessive development of the scientific method of simple spatial
evidence, based in machines, and the excessive development of the dramatic age,
caused by visual Televisions. In both cases that degradation of man by science
and films is caused by machines. Machines of science with their detailed vision
of the universe, made the logic of ethics and Greek science seem 'obscure'.
Dramatic films in electronic support, made the logic of human thinkers to seem
'boring'.
It
is indeed surprising how even in deconstructed manner, the metal-eyes and
metal-ears of machines have been able to degrade the human mind and hypnotize
us into worshipping them - the theme of our last chapter.
The
result is obvious: due to those machines we have lost our temporal dimension of
logic and become again spatial species.
In
any organism temporal languages are more important for survival than spatial
languages, since survival happens in time. For that reason words should
dominate visual and mathematical languages, specially on the simple level of
evolution of mathematical languages in human brains. Of those two elements it
is the temporal word the intelligence of man who should prevail in a health
culture. cultures ruled by the word of temporal perception are healthy,
intelligent cultures. When the eye without temporal depth, rules societies,
when the image not the word rules societies, we talk of primitive, energy
cultures, such as the Paleolithic culture previous to verbal and written words,
or the present culture of metal mind images, which we will term as the
neo-paleolithic.
It
is fundamental to be aware that the substitution of words by images or
mathematics without inner meaning for man, is a clear regression in the
temporal evolution of man, and lowers the capacity of survival of man, to
immediate, dramatic, simple perception.
We
talk of the XX century as the Neo-paleolithic, the 3rd age of man, a regressive
age, similar to the 3rd age of people, when they behave like children. We behave like children because we have lost
the logic, temporal dimension of human intelligence, and regressed to the
dramatic, immediate non-thinking dimension of eye sensations, physical
sensations and pleasure.
This is caused also by the
scientific, mathematical method which is based only in light evidence and
geometrical tools. I think therefore I am is substituted by I see therefore I
am. And the change is one of devolution of man, which
leaves man a victim of software programming. It converts violence and pleasure
- moving eye sensations - in the rhythms of man. Man is devolving into the
neo-paleolithic.
Pricing, new top predator language.
Devolution of verbal thought.
We
can say that human thought peaked in the age of relativistic thought in Asia
and Greece. Yet the invention of coins [-550BC], started the regression of
words preyed by digital numbers, the new language of social power.
So
we found around that age the highest minds of mankind, the relativistic
prophets: Buddha, Socrates, Mo-Ti, Lao
and Kung-tse. It is then when Mr. Kung-Tse, aware of the new 'freed'=freedom of
greed that coins had brought to man, talked of the end of the Jen=Love age, and
the beginning of the 'little harmony'. Because from then on, ethic, artistic
human words would decline, inhibited,
denied by the growth of mathematical numbers and symbiotic metal species
[money, war] which killed ethics, and established new values to reality,
monetary values.
Yet
monetary values are different, sometimes completely opposed to human values.
For example murder and weapons are very expensive. They have however a negative
human value.
The paradox of History coming to an
end. The harder they fall.
What
we call verbal values, are temporal values related to the survival and
extinction of man. This creates a certain structure in the language, 'what we
call the ethic language' which turns around two concepts, good and evil, that
describe from the point of view of human values what is good or dangerous to
humankind. Those are basically the values of words, but they are not the values
of money. Yet can really we explain the verbal ethics of Religions in such
scientific, evolutionary terms? Can we validate the ethics of religion, in
terms of survival and extinction? Indeed we can. It is important to reclaim the
veracity of verbal and religious thought in evolutionary, scientific terms.
Moral
words are a logical consequence of Darwinian devolution.
In a world of Darwinian,
relativistic morals, bad is a necessary word that explains what makes a verbal
species extinct, and good is what allows the verbal species to reproduce and
multiply.
It
should not surprise us that our first book says, "Grow=Evolve and
multiply=reproduce," which means survive. Such is the mandate of 'God-the
law of the Universe' spelled by the Genesis in verbal thought. So ethics are
fundamental to treat history with scientific rigor because they spell Universal
laws of behavior.
Hence
the eternal fight between ethics and machines, between artists and scientists,
between worshippers of man and worshippers of metal. As humans reached that age
of ethics, they indeed had to confront the parallel growth of animetals, of
dramatic humans of minimal mental evolution, backed by the power of weapons and
money. The paradox of History, the struggle between the human and the economic
ecosystem thus continued, throughout history. We will study that paradox in its
two fundamental ages: during the ethic age, in which animetals were controlled
by ethic religions, and during the Human baroque, in which finally animetals
seem to have won the battle of history, and so are about to eliminate us from
this planet. Yet they are so stupid, in the height of their power, that hardly
any animetal realizes, still unidimensional looking to their individual,
selfish, diminutive lives, and bestial desires, to their small navels, to their
ridiculous historic past, egotistic, full of vanity, dust of dust.
