Ideas are “things”, Objects. They are (Meta)-Physical. You can grab an idea. You can hold it in your hands. It is tangible although invisible. It is Energy. It is Force. You can never Not-Feel it, even or especially when “You” are dead. Because where did “You” go? Did your Matter or Mass de-materialize? Did your body vanish out of thin air? Or, didn’t you mean that your Consciousness simply stopped? Most humans, today, refer to them-“selves” through their conscious experience only. So, you probably believe, that when “You” go to sleep at night, “You” stop Existing entirely… (Solipsism)
There is “Nothing” that is Not Energy. Nothingness, in fact, refers to Human Ignorance, and the communal ignorance of (post)modern men, and women …and “transpeople” too I guess. Nothingness is a combination-error, of Epistemology and Teleology. Humanity defines much of its ‘Self’ and its Knowledge, by Beginnings and Endings. The Universe began, supposedly. The Universe will end, supposedly. Whether you are a Secular-Leftist or Religious-Rightist, both sides believe in a Finite Universe.
Neither side truly believes in an Infinite Universe. Why is that…? I hope to get in that, depending on where this topic and conversation leads.
The first matter at hand, though, is the difference between Language and Ideas / Thoughts. This difference confuses even the intelligent among Humanity. Many academics, professors, philosophers, and the like, believe that ideas and language are entwined and tangled–and cannot be separated. I beg to differ. My postulation is simple: Language is Derived from Ideas, not vice-versa. The Intention of Ideas, is what ‘Creates’ language to begin with.
Consider a dog barking. Does anybody need to understand “dog language”, in order to have a reaction to it? Do animals need to know each-other specie’s “languages”? Or, isn’t it simpler, that “language” and communication are verbally immediate. A loud noise is enough to convey a message. The roar of a lion is ferocious because it conveys a threat to all lesser animals–the matter of Apex Predators. Thus, Mammals, and all other species, have it engrained through DNA, fear-responses to certain noises, and not others. If you do not fear that which will kill and consume you, then you would not survive, evolve, and adapt to the next generation.
In this, the ‘Physicality’ of all possible Languages are beyond one specie. This is important, because all Human languages must cede to physical principles. Human language, although much more complex than the other Mammalian species on Earth, is not so different, and definitely not a step-away from the most basic principles. Language is meant to ‘Do’ certain things. Language is meant to convey Animalistic intentions.
The premise of Abrahamic ideologies in Western Civilization is that Language (aka. Semitism) is what separates Man from Animal, and lifts him to ‘Human’ status. Thus, this work is very much an Antithesis of that premise. My claim and argument, contrary to Abrahamism and the Semitic religions, is that there is fundamentally no difference or separation of Man from Animal through Language.
Because there is not a single idea which can be conveyed, which demonstrates nor proves your Humanity.
…Because only an Action can possibly demonstrate any such “Humanity”. And this “Action” was, at least first attempted, through Christ and the Christian variant of Abrahamism. Christ was the “first attempt” to evolve Man into Human, from Animal. The Semitic traditions since then, have used and abused, leveraged ‘Language’ as the means to Divinity. Yet they have produced little or no Actions since their beginnings, to legitimize or justify their spoken or written intentions. Thus, the masses of the world, need more than just words.
They do need, and are entitled to, the Actions of such “Divinity”.
