Inventions Before Words & After Words

Words revolutionised evolution: Want to know what that means?
Words revolutionised evolution: Want to know what that means?
I say, “Words have revolutionised evolution.”
I hear you: “What are you talking about?”
What I’m talking about isn’t philosophy. It is science.
The proof’s in the pudding, see the picture above.
In words:
Words appeared 13,750 years ago.
Before Words:
The first 4.65 billion years on Earth were without words. Put differently, the first 99.9997% since the birth of Earth were wordless. In other words, on a 24-hour clock, the first 23:59:59.0074 were wordless
After Words:
Words exist on Earth since 13,750 years ago. Put differently, words and word-users exist since the most recent 0.0003% on Earth only. In other words, words and word-users exist on Earth only since 0.026 seconds ago only.
For context:
0.026 seconds is 40 times faster than a word-user’s blink of an eye, in which time…
Words revolutionised evolution
During the time Before Words — that is during the first 23:59:59.007 or 99.9997% — nearly nothing got invented, and what did took forever.
The proof’s in the pudding: After they had invented Earth, it took the energy, fire, air, earth, and water 1.15 billion years to invent the cells, a further 2.8 billion years to invent the plants, a further 100,000 years to invent the animals, a further 58,000 years to invent the eyes, a further 42,000 years to invent the brains, and a further 486,250 years to invent the words and word-users, including you. It’s not just about you of course. We’re all in this together.
During the latest 0.026 seconds, that is in the most recent 0.0003% of the time since words began, every other invention you know of got invented 40 times faster than the time it takes for the blink of an eye. For you to not have to look at every invention one by one, I did the hard work for you. Here’s the link to the inventions Before Words and After Words.
The question on every word-user’s tip of the tongue, of course, is how did the energy, fire, air, earth, and water invent everything, you and me included?
The energy, fire, air, earth, and water don’t even have schools.
Could it be that the word-users — the only Earthlings with the monopoly on words and schools — don’t also have the monopoly on intelligence?
Could there exist an intelligence other than ours — maybe not quite as big, or maybe even bigger than ours?
If interested in the answer, follow me & be sure to read me in the days and weeks ahead.

Do you want to make change happen, but can’t be honest about it?
If you want to make change happen, you might fear being honest and outspoken about it.
Maybe the change you have in mind consists of replacing an old model with a new. But if you announce it from the top of your lungs, from atop the social media rooftops, for everybody to hear it loud and clear, you’re afraid that someone out there in this insane world will come after you like a rabid dog or demented bear.
It shan’t happen, on that I give my word. That’s because someone is a word — like everything else you have a word for — and words don’t come after you (nor after anyone else).
Though some word-users — including philosophers and scientists — resist accepting that “Words=Words”. Yet that everything you know is a word isn’t philosophy, it’s science. Long story short, there are no words coming after you.
But if you feel this is a dangerous world, that doesn’t mean it is an illusion. On the contrary, your feelings are authentic, for no other word or word-user can feel it for you. That’s as authentic as authentic gets.
Far too many wordless and word-users only know too well what living in a dangerous world means. The wordless are too many to mention. Among the word-users, William Tyndale, Mahatma Gandhi, Steve Biko, Martin Luther King Jr, 800,000 dead Rwandans in 100 days, 853 executed Iranians in 365 days, Jamal Khashoggi, and Salman Rushdie, to name a few. For a more complete list, check out Amnesty International, the organisation that has done more for human rights than any other organisation I know of.
How about you?
“Considering how dangerous everything is, nothing is really very frightening.” – Gertrude Stein
Just feel the fear, then do it anyway.
Make the change happen, and only then see what happens.
All it takes is your vision and the courage to follow through.
The world needs you. To say more than ever would be missing the point because it’s not a question of time or the year we’re in, which is a lie anyway. On the contrary, it’s a question of eternity which belongs to those who act in the present — that is you.

Do you feel frustrated because you squander energy and time on religion and don’t see desired results?
.
The religionists are watching the rivers return from whence they come, the sea, yet the sea ain’t full, with the sun sending her rays of silver onto their coffers of gold.
Praying to their gods of selling and storytelling, their symbols of numbers, their ribbons of letters, and their knowing in the beginning is the word, they’re spinning and dancing ‘round their altars of scrolls under their control.
Beyond their kingdoms of money built on words, they clearly see that beyond every horizon there will always be another place to be, complete with fools on the hill, fire over water, ravens howling, dogs barking at their gold-laden caravans moving on, and on, and on, for thousands of years with no end in sight.
Their gods use words, the religionists want all other word-users to believe.
What they don’t want all other word-users to believe is that gods is a word.
Everything we have a word for is (a word). That’s not philosophy. It’s science
You may have heard or seen in the beginning is the word before.
Well, the beginning, the word, happened 13,750 years ago — the age was stone, the Sahara green, and Northern Europe under 1-mile-thick ice.
Where were their gods during the 4.65 billion wordless years Before Words on Earth?
“Religion is the opiate of the masses, a significant hindrance to reason, inherently masking the truth and misguiding followers.”
What do you suppose that means?
With the benefit of hindsight, near as I can tell, it means Karl Marx hadn’t seen anything yet.

If you want to aim at what you’re looking for, you’ve got to pay attention to your words. Here’s how.
Whether you’re aiming for simple, folded, entire, broken, lies, truths, less, more, search, reach, mistake, missed take, greed, agreed, left, right, wrong, perfect, or flawed — in fact, anything you have a word for — you’ll find it.
Everything you know is a word, and words attract that upon which they are directed. In this world of war and peace, on that I give my word.
Word-users aiming at what they’re looking for — be it war, peace or anything in between — isn’t known to ever have failed yet. Of course, provided you’re aiming without getting distracted by a different word, like a flea on a dog getting distracted by a different dog.
Words are how word-users aim at what they’re looking for (which I also covered in this post, ref. Word-rule #06)
In the beginning is the word and there’s magic in every word, likely more than what appears at first sight, is usually how it works.

An overlooked part of words
An overlooked part of words, and why it’s crucial to pay attention
…is seeing them for what they are beyond the shadow of a doubt.
Everything you have a word for, is a word.
I wrote about that previously, here , here , and here, to name a few.
Nevertheless, seeing words for what they are, beyond the shadow of a doubt, gets often overlooked because we’re told to not trust what we see by parents, preachers, and teachers, at kindergartens, schools, and universities.
When you’re looking at ______ (fill the blank), you’re instructed to see not what you’re looking at — words, beyond the shadow of a doubt — but what the words describe instead.
Incidentally, the same goes on with pictures (a word, of course).
When you’re looking at a picture of ______, you’re instructed you see not what you’re looking at — pictures, beyond the shadow of a doubt — but what the pictures depict instead.
An anecdote has it that Picasso received at his studio a visitor that mistook his paintings for abstract. So Picasso asked if his visitor had a photo of his family. When he laid eyes on the photo tended to him, Picasso exclaimed, “Are they really that small?”
What do you think was the difference between Picasso and the visitor? Well, I guess Picasso trusted his eyes and his visitor didn’t.
Of course, Picasso isn’t the only painter to trust his eyes. “To see, we must forget the name of the thing we are looking at” – Claude Monet.
Put differently, words put the owners back to what is using them. There are no exceptions to this rule.
In this case, the word-user is you. Practically speaking, that means to…
- Feel
- Hear
- See
- Touch
- Smell
- Taste
…that is to know anything, you must forget the word of what you’re feeling, hearing, seeing, touching, smelling, tasting, and know.
Because “the only source of knowledge is experience” (Albert Einstein).
Talking of which, the only thing you’ll find here are words. There are no truths here to be found.
What you make of my words is all up to you.
Everybody must find their own way home.
To each their own.
PS.
In my posts on the road ahead, I shall explore…
- Why a statue of ________ is a statue.
- Why we are told to distrust our senses.
- Why you are more than a 3-letter word.
- What books are made of.
