If your words don’t have rules, you’re doing it wrong

By In Blog, Words, You

In the wordless world

In the wordless world, everything you have a word for doesn’t exist for self-evident reasons, including word for equally self-evident reasons.

In the wordy world

In the wordy world, everybody knows that everything is different because everything we know is what we have words for.

But that’s not all.

What everybody doesn’t know is that words have rules the grammarians don’t have a clue about.

With grammar taught at schools throughout the world means the 7 word rules below are ignored by both the grammarians and the other word-users throughout the world, too.

Word rules

.

#1: Words do not matter

#2: If you have a word for it, it’s a word.

#3: Words are always yours

When you speak a word, any word — whether in self-talk or aloud — it will be yours always for nobody else can think it or speak it for you.

#4: A word can be denied only by confirming it.

If you want to deny a word, any word, you’ll discover in the blink of an eye that it cannot be done without using it.

#5: Words are how word-users aim at what they’re looking for.

Whenever word-users are looking for anything — such as heartbreak, success, happiness, more, time, problem, solution, agreement, direction, or decision, to name a select few of the 4 billion English words on offer, you’re sure to use those words.

#6: Words are the limits of your world.

Words are a prison, but even a prison is a home if you have the key.
PS. If interested, the key is now in THE ORIGIN OF HUMANITY for everybody to see.

#7: A word is never another (word).

Examples:

Mistaking words for another (word) is a BIG mistake because it prevents anyone making it from knowing the first thing about either.

To say of two things that they are identical is nonsense. And to say of one thing that it is identical with itself is to say nothing.” – Ludwig Wittgenstein
“Anyone who tries to make a distinction between education and entertainment doesn’t know the first thing about either.” – Marshall McLuhan

Takeaway

If your words don’t have rules, you’re doing it wrong.

Follow the 7 word rules above to see words work for you, as opposed to against you, in no time at all.

What makes a good picture?

By In Words, You

In the wordless world

In the wordless world, nothing exists that word-users have a word for.

For self-evident reasons that includes good and picture.

In the wordy world

In the wordy world:

  • Picture is a word
  • Everything you have a word for is a word
  • A word, any word, couldn’t be anything else if it tried
  • Picture is mistaken to speak 1,000 words

This might make sense at first sight — especially the part about picture speaking, which presupposes that words have the organs required (to speak).

But unlike the word-users, words are void of organs.

And if you look a wee bit closer, you can clearly see that the invention of pictures predates the invention of words by 30,000 years.

This we know from cave paintings in different parts of the world that are 30,000 years older than the words that the first word-users began 30,000 years later to describe those cave paintings with.

And 43,750 years after the invention of pictures, we now believe that dance/pantomime, music, sculpture, and pictures/paintings are part of the classic arts.

What’s rarely talked about yet extra special about the classic arts is that they are older than words. But that’s about art, a different story altogether that will be addressed in a separate post when the time for art is right.

Back to pictures and words

In case you forgot, words were invented when the age was stone, the Sahara green, Northern Europe under 1-mile-thick ice, and writing hadn’t been invented yet.

In other words, words were invented 13,750 years ago.

But we shall never know what happened after that because the witnesses are gone. All we can safely assume is that it was Event A or Event B before the other.

  • Event A: When words were new, 13,750 years ago, our ancestors had to invent 1,000 words before they could even begin to accuse pictures of speaking as many.
  • Event B: Our ancestors began to mistake picture — which at the risk of repeating myself is a word — for possessing the organs required to speak words, let alone 1,000 of them each.

Fact is, it didn’t take long for the majority of word-users to mistake words for what they aren’t.

Imagine that!

13,750 years later, Wikipedia speaks 2.916 words (about pictures), and any art critic worth their salt will find the number of words it takes to fill a book about the Lascaux cave pictures alone.

But no word-user today believes that words possess the organs required to talk because schools all over the world now finally teach that words are words, and the only ones with the organs required to use words are the teachers and students of words, that is the word-users.

But who am I, the author of THE ORIGIN OF HUMANITY, to talk in turn?

I could be wrong.

Maybe schools all over the world still don’t teach the difference between the word and the word-user.

Maybe the 4 word-users below are right.

  • ”Strange times are these in which we live when old and young are taught falsehoods in school.” – Plato (2,500 years ago)
  • “Call it a dream, it doesn’t change anything.” – Ludwig Wittgenstein (99 years ago)
  • “The school system is the homogenizing hopper into which we toss our integral tots for processing.” – Marshall McLuhan (74 years ago)
  • “When I look back on all the crap I learned in high school, it’s a wonder I can think at all.” – Paul Simon (40 years ago)

Takeaway

The choices are there.

The decision is yours.

No other word or word-user can decide it for you.
