The Future of Language = The Future of Humanity


In the future, you will not be you and I will not be I.

In the future, nothing will be the same.

Wait for it….

There!

Did you feel it?

Everything just changed.

There!

Again.

That’s the thing about the future, it happens every passing moment.

Measured from the instant your eyes first began reading this blAHg entry, you have become your future self, measurably different in countless ways at the molecular, microscopic level, but perhaps in other ways more difficult to quantify in scientific terms. 

Keep that in mind while you are holding a grudge against someone.  That person is not the person they were ten years ago, ten minutes ago… ten seconds ago.  You are holding a grudge against your imperfect memory of a person that no longer exists.

We are prisoners of our primitive language.  The language I am attempting to leverage at this very moment cannot possibly express its own inherent shortcomings… which is what we’d call ironic.  I prefer calling it tragic. 

If the human species continues to define its perception of reality with this primitive language, we are doomed to repeat the same cycle of self destruction until 1) We consciously formulate a new method of communication that parallels reality rather than contradict it or 2) We wipe out every last scrap of our own genetic existence.

In order to transcend our completely medieval systems of money as debt, politics, and control via militant force, etc., we must first evolve our language beyond the medieval comprehension of reality’s structure. 

A future truly defined by freedom, liberty, and abundance for all is possible.  The first step is admitting that we cannot get there by clinging to primitive languages and highly destructive notions of good vs. evil and the permanence of any idea. 

If words define who we are and what we believe in, should not those words resonate with the same truth as the universe itself?
