the origin of humanity
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet”, said William Shakespeare some 430 years ago.
Now, 430 years later, so it is with words.
No matter what you call it, if you have aword for it, it’s a word.
That explains why I tell the story of words — of how it all began — no matter how it is received.

James Frederick Ferrier (born 216 years ago / died 160 years ago) was a Scottish word-user, writer, lawyer, and university professor. His wife Margaret Anne Wilson wrote under the pseudonym Christopher North.
At a time when the word-user population of 1 billion (versus 9 billion today) believed everything known is in a book of more knowledge than can be known, also known as Bible, James Frederick Ferrier discovered epistemology and agnoiology — Greek English pronounced, meaning knowledge-science and ignorance-science respectively.
While Ferrier believed he was a scientist, he believed consciousness is the distinctive feature of word-users. But he didn’t use his being a scientist to scientifically study the wordless energy, gravity, fire, air, earth, water, electricity, magnets, cells, plants, and wordless animals. Else he would have known the wordless are infinitely more conscious than the word-users will ever know.
He also believed the perception of matter is the ultimate proof of thought. But he ignored that words possess no matter and therefore defy our understanding of how the universe works. He didn’t know because the knowledge required didn’t exist when James Frederick Ferrier walked the Earth. Some word-users born after James Frederick Ferrier now describe his method as Spinoza’s — strict demonstration or at least an attempt at it. But like James Frederick Ferrier, they don’t see words for what they are — a word by any other word.
James Frederick Ferrier is famous for a quote that reads:
“Consciousness is manifest only when the man has used the word with full knowledge of what it means.”
Corrected for the fact consciousness is a word, the quote reads:
“Consciousness exists whether the word-user knows or ignores what it means.”

According to Wikipedia, Hasan Ibn Al-Haytham (born 1059 years ago / died 1000 years ago), “is sometimes described as the world’s first true scientist.”
Whether that’s true I guess is for the scientists after Hasan to decide.
In the context of what I’m the author of, the story of words, it means science has recently celebrated its 1,000th anniversary.
It also means the past has progressively been the domain of the science for the most recent 1,000 years only.
Before that — for the 12,750 years since the first word — the past was in the iron grip of the religionists.
Much water has gone under the bridge since, but not much has changed. The religionists continue to rule the majority of the world’s 9 billion word-users. On the assumption lies can be measured, they — the religionists — are the world’s biggest liars, second to none, without the shadow of a doubt.
Their biggest lie, of course, is about how it all began.
In the only book they claim to read, they’ve written by their own hand, “In the beginning is the word.”
Despite this, they preach in the beginning is a fictional character called God.
At the same time, they don’t preach where God was before words.
Because that would be the truth.
That said, the scientists aren’t far behind in lies-telling, a close second, so to speak.
Their biggest lie is it all began with a bang of some size.
At the same time, they don’t teach where the bang was before words.
Because that, too, would be the truth.
In the beginning is the word beyond the shadow of a doubt.
If not, neither you nor me would have begun and we wouldn’t be talking about the beginning now, as we speak.

The next time a word-user starts telling you everything it knows isn’t a word, ask it what that is without naming it.
I should know it’s impossible because in my workshops, I ask groups of word-users if anything they know isn’t a word, and in a heartbeat, without thinking twice, they start convincing themselves and each other that’s not true (only to then change their convictions, that’s what my workshops are for).
Fact, nothing is believed until it’s true, and what to believe is a question of character and personal preference, to each their own. There’s nothing that can be done about it. Arthur Schopenhauer said it better than I ever could.
“All truth passes through three stages.
First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”
It’s not just about the meanwhile 9 billion and counting world-wide population of word-users out there, it’s about you and me, too. We’re all in this together. We each have a word for everything, even for what we don’t have a word for, and for everything we know. To pretend otherwise while using that word is absurd.
Makes you wonder why so many word-users are, doesn’t it?

Contrary to popular belief, words don’t matter. I should know.
Of course, I may be wrong for I’ve studied words during the past 8 years only.
8 years doesn’t even compare to those word-users that made the study of words their careers from the start — the linguists, lexicographers, publishers of dictionaries, etymologists, grammarians, semanticians, semioticians, and translators, to name a few.
Being none of the above, I’m simply a word-user — a user of words — that cares to know what he’s talking about. On top of that, I’m also the author of THE ORIGIN OF HUMANITY.
Different things are being said about words depending on what is saying them.
In a book its authors and believers swear contains nothing but the truth, it is written in the beginning is the word.
But nothing is believed until it’s true and what to believe is a question of character and personal preference, to each their own.
Many word-users will have heard of “e = mc²”.
It says the universe is energy (as opposed to made of energy).
Energy is electric charge, hence matter, which doesn’t exist until it is observed by an instrument that can detect it. However, all energy is not the same. There exists one form of energy that’s more difficult to measure than any other energy discovered so far.
That energy is the neutrinos — also known as the ghost particle — particles far smaller than atoms. Only laboratories equipped with the world’s most sensitive detectors are able to measure them — the Fermilab in Illinois and the LUX-Zeplin in South Dakota, both in the USA, and the CERN’s particle accelerator in Switzerland and France, among others.
The reason we call the universe universe instead of energy has got nothing to do with the universe being energy. We name it universe because in the beginning is the word.
If it wasn’t for the word in the beginning — if the word wasn’t in the beginning of everything we have a word for, including for humanity, energy, and universe — then nothing exists.
Uni-verse.
Unique verse.
Get it?
All word-users are unique like every other word-user. Therefore, we each have our own unique verses, known or ignored only to us, our own unique way of seeing the world.
Words are void of energy.
Practically speaking, words don’t matter.
Not even the most sensitive detectors in the world are able to detect words in word-users. The only ones able to detect words are the word-users.
Of all the particles discovered so far, the strangest by far is the word.
Maybe because it isn’t a particle at all. Maybe because it’s the only thing in the world that doesn’t matter.
It’s a mystery.
There is no maybe about it.
Words defy our understanding of how the universe works.
