In the galaxy far, far away, many thousands of years ago, a tiny gene, FOXP2 evolved and allowed a primate species to - speak.
Once we were able to articulate our thoughts, we started to name the things that are surrounding us.
The principle was simple. If the word was good enough to cover 90% of the situations - it was good enough.
A million years of evolutions and we became strange up to that level that I can't explain it to my grandpa anymore.
Now... We need to speak in such a manner that we need to cover 99.9999% of cases, and even that is not good enough.
The only way to fight this irrationality is to make it absurd.
Let me show you an example:
My car is blue.
This sentence is full of bigotry, patriarchy and oppression.
Define my, me as the individual, mind-body cohesion, legal owner, leaser, partial owner, part-time owner, we need to address and stress all of those possibilities including the people with multi-personality disorders.
Car, what is a car, a vehicle with 4 wheels? No... Not EVERY car has 4 wheels, some have 3, some have 6 or even more. And how do you make a distinction between a car, truck, van. What about amphibious cars, are those cars, or they fell more appropriate to be addressed as boats, on certain days?
And blue? What is blue? Blue is nothing but a social construct that defines the patriarchal oppressive model of the perception of blue as the MALE SUPREMACY colour. In physical meaning, blue could be defined as a certain wavelength, but not every shade of blue. What about greenish or violet blue? What about metallic, sparkling blue? And why you validate only the spectral signature in a visible region. And visible to WHO? Some people see +-20 nm. Their visible is not your visible. And what about the daltonists?! Do you think they are not even hoomans?
I want to write a proper sentence!
Me as the individual, mind-body cohesion, legal owner, leaser, partial owner, part-time owner, multi-identity beeing or any material/spiritual being or not-being or any other representation suitable to other people, Homo sapiens who may define themselves or may not as humans, hoomans, or beings.... vehicle that can have a spectrum of shapes, wheels and purposes that dwell on land, water, air or subterrain, according to your perception of car that is not offendable and is inconsistently fluid ... has spectral signature in the range around 400nm or according to CIE convention that is not respected by all the humans, hoomans, deities or spiritual beings that... Patriarchy sucks
, you are now on my auto-voter
Because scientific facts gave us electricity, cars, blue colour, PC/Mac, internet and Steemit in <200 years.
Because we are standing on the shoulders of giants who lived and created before us.
Because the scientific method gave birth to all of this.
Before that, we had the Age of Feeling where the facts were dismissed if in a collision with God.
Actually, not God itself, but those who spoke in its name, without being chosen for any viable reason or at least miracle.
I don't agree with verbal incquisition.
Just to be clear (if there are some people who don't understand Engrish)
THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION, NOT THE PREFERENCE OF MY GROUP
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Now they came to my letters, sounds and thoughts!
