Human-Existential Questions
Jan 18th
Think of the dynamic intelligence of animals totally unspoilt by civilization. Imagine the exceptional particular/local, timely and concrete human-animal intelligence our ancestors had just before evolving the ability to speak fluent language, without the endless BS stories. “Particular/local, timely and concrete” meaning “human-existential.”
What if the actual evolution of language has been for the sake of the evolution of language itself, and fundamentally human-existentially destructive? What if the strongly abstract, universal and timeless kind of intelligence of civilized minds is a dismally impoverished kind of human-existential intelligence?
How is the kind of language we use wrong? What is a kind of language that would sustain human existence instead of driving it into transhuman extinction? The kind of language we want is a language that enhances the natural human-existential intelligence of a vibrant human animal, instead of subjecting human existence dismally to the existential dynamic of language/technology.
