Why are Words so Important to this Conspiracy?
Something you may not know is that the early 1940’s a little before World War II, there were Nazi’s operating here in America?
Did you know that a Nazi ambassador by the name of Hans Tompsen. Made contact with influential Americans to accomplish this goal. And that was before the WW II even got started. They were already working to weaken the American’s will to fight.
The Nazi’s wanted to use their propaganda here to convince the U.S. That Hitler was interested in peace. All this and while they were getting ready to attack Czechoslovakia, and Poland some of the first countries to fall.
Why do think they wanted a magazine here?
Why Words do Matter
I’ll tell you why, because our mental structure is such that we can be influenced by words.
Some once said that if you tell a lie long enough people will believe it’s true.
This is why I am making the effort to enlighten you to the evolution of words so you can better understand the power they have over us. They’ve been waging psychological war on us for a long time.
So let’s get on with how language works’
Language is used against us, that’s why they control the press, the believe that people are suckers with no real knowledge.
Words have been used to keep people in a constant state of terror.
Language can be a powerful tool when used for evil purposes. Language can be used to move people to action. I took this brief detour because it’s important that you understand the importance of what you’re reading here.
Don’t know who coined the phrase “Knowledge is power” but that’s what I want to impart to you.
Words, are made of this’
We previously covered a little of how it is believed that words first came about, if you’re not familiar with that then go back and read the previous post.
Now were moving on. Because language is such an inherent part of our daily lives that it must go back into the very start Genius Homo.
Much of what I am writing about here I received by reading Dr. Julian Jaynes’s book. He wrote the ground breaking book, The Origin Of Consciousness In The Breakdown of The Bicameral Mind, in it he says that many contemporary linguist would like us to believe that language is just a part of the human constitution. He says about the theory of language, “ It is not intended to be a definitive statement of what occurred in evolution so much as a rough working hypothesis to approach it.â€
The Complexities of Language
Moving on, language is more complicated than what we may be used to thinking on the subject. I say that because in order for language to be understandable there first needs to be some fundamental constraints.
So what are these basic constraints? Mainly, that the basic words need to be understood and accepted by those in the group or community. That in itself denotes a pattern of progression.
One word being used then another and so on. Such is the growth of words. So we know the discovery; however, now we need to cover the highly complex structures that exist within it that we may not even be aware of.
Modifiers as the First Stage
This is the first stage of language, chances are they came about to modify grunts and utterances made by primitive man. In the evolution of primate’s only postural or visual signals such as postures these were intentional no doubt. Soon sounds were made possibly to warn of imminent danger.
These would slowly evolve into a call system of sorts. This is the age of modifiers possibly from 40,000 B.C. to around 25,000 B.C.
Nouns
Julian Jaynes writes that once a tribe had a repertoire of modifiers and commands, these could be then used to keep the integrity of the old primitive call system.
This happens around the same time period when much more sophisticated tools are found to have been made. There’s no doubt that more steps were involved in this process but I will skip ahead in the interest of conserving time.
The Importance of Names and How they fit Into the history of Language
It may be difficult for us to get our head around that names were in fact an invention of man. If you’ve ever done any research on where your own last name comes you find that the name was based on an occupation that some long ago relative performed.
Once a name is given for ether a person or a thing it’s easier for the mind to categorize and to remember. It’s the way our minds work. Naming something gives your mind an anchor to use when recalling.
So much more to cover to be continued…
