Language
And Human Evolution
|
- Language has been a most important step in human evolution.
- Language is now the biggest barrier to further evolution.
- This situation is not unusual in self-organising systems which reach
temporary states of "local equilibrium."
- Language is an encyclopaedia of ignorance. Words get formed and
frozen into permanence at a relative stage of ignorance. That forces
us to perceive the world in an old fashioned way.
- Perception is by far the most important part of thinking. Most errors
of thinking are errors of perception. If perception is faulty then
no amount of logical excellence will give a useful answer.
