Some people are more spirited, some less, the more spirited sometimes being troubled, but certainly more passionate about the truth...the engineers make assumptions and seek power.
Engineers, the less soulful, are more a tool of politics than Scientists. Science has a politics to it, but, it has proven to be dependent on truth and so the application of science, as a power in government, is focused on justice and truth.
It is a lot more exciting idea during the iron age, without Scientists (except there is the edge of the Hellenes), to have presented to a metallurgist culture transubstantiation.
Inside of Alchemy is gestated, this not quite sure mutation or revision and change of one subject into another, where, so may other instances of metals mixing creating another metal...it suggested a similar transformation.
Yet, it also pointed to the right path down into science.
So, as an experiment of an idea of a literate or literary construction to be promoted among an illiterate people, who yet have some science "literacy" in metallurgical processes, specifically.
And, it didn't work. Though transubstatiation has traction with Tribe, Bronze Age and Iron Age and literary to Scientific thought...all that could not close on the ridiculousness of its claim.
After awhile people seriously doubted transubstantiation, and it became a dividing point in the Reformation.
All along there are people who doubt these things...there is a Socrates in every large political organization. Despots and Tyrants would kill them, but, this was not genetic so over the thousands of years dominated by "Hero's with PR"...you know, huge, gifted psychopathic men of athletic capacity, who would kill without thinking and possess the best ability to kill and use tactics.
Conan is a Tyrant.
Anyway, once thing too complicated for one man and his advisors, some who were killed (imagine the quality of advisement!), governments used writing and laws. This had to beaten into populations over centuries...and the lesson is still not all the way there.
So too, is there a imbalance in the "history/progress of science", given its all equal, but malformed in terms of documentation. The documentation was confused too!
Then as Bronze Age confusions were sorta out, into Iron age configurations and re conceptualizations, throwing out some of the Bronze Age traditions, adopting new ones...yet, still all within a Frontier. Nevertheless, writing and codifying laws. And, practicing science...this process worked well for writing could make maps, orders, and contracts.
Meanwhile, other people nearby, out in the frontier, they dont practice law and writing, yet, naturally, all thing being equal, they do practice science. This is evident in the Bronze Age Tribes of Central Asia.
So, eventually, the Iron Age people's idea of governance as processed, refined, customized, THEN its presented to the illiterate yet "science" aware people...who really have not had much else interfering in terms of paperwork, laws, but certainly understanding the value of maps, contracts, treaties, negotiations in paper. This all at once, added to science, given then, not its own beliefs but others systemized and codified and comprehensive and exhaustive beliefs...more than one person had to study the stories...wherein, in the Oral Tradition of the Ur Mythology, so impressed with Fire, this found marginalization quickly.
For instance, the idea of Absolute Monarchy was a kind of celebrity status granted from the writings of the Bible. Before, there was no exhaltation of the Tyrant, except in some primitive bronze age civilizations of quite small populations.
So, sure, King is not cognate with Tyrant but its close enough insofar as the Military faction rules by brute force....especially where authority is absolutely the Kings.
There are breaks to Absolute Monarchy, more a literary term or a term like Celebrity, than is it a real application...though, you can use its victims as examples, the Aristocracy or a even a foreign King ruling over a different people creates a counter attack, but otherwise, a King ruling over members of a people who are a political faction, and not just an occupying force with a bigger military, could form into a dynasty but those have not proven to be that effective either but we can imagine, in a dynasty, a capacity to control breeding among families.
Language is usually the divide here and in England it was the division of the Germanic speakers from the Latin speakers. Both were the same people...although, this was the edge of the Germanic colony.
The colony had time to develop its own literacy alongside the tutelage or example of the Romans.
This was duplicated by travel back to the East side of the Rhine...merchants, travellers, people who didn't really trust the Priests...these people were not Germanic so much as a more ambiguous genetic heritage of Germano Celtic.
But the point is, this later group, the Huns, or the Aryan, or the Teutons or Odinites...these people came over from the Gothic side.
Goths were a colony sent out into Scythia, perhaps after an epidemic...wherein, the coast was clear.
There they were, there they pirated because it had long been settled, but then sent back into Gothia by invaders. Some stayed, Volga Germans, but others brought back some genetic material based upon the Scythian Central Asian model.
Aryan is not quite accurate. One could say the Goths were Aryanized...but then one could say the Dorics were Aryans.
The point is, the genetic red or blond, then mixed again with genetic red or blond, but these were two isolated tribal confederations on the far Frontier of civilization, having been spread from an earlier Bronze Age colonization, created another layer over, what seems to be now, a stabilization of a fusion to extinction of the lesser number Neadnertal with Cro magnon.
Therein, the Basque..and builders of Stonehenge...these people are a evolutionary fusion through conscious breeding selection of a improved stock of people in Western Europe.
Onto this colonized Mycenaens...really, another phase of colonization across Anatolia.
The Minoans could be co-colonizers of a Central Asian version of the Basque....but the Hittite to Mycenean to Hallstate to Estrusca to Celts to Teutons...all these seems to emerge before the Bronze Age collapse, perhaps it being after a colony growth, then reached enough to return, from greener pastures, a burst in generation.
These the Myceneans gathered up, and attempted to seal off Troy from the Anatolians indigenously there...controlling the straits and access to the Danube. Or simply a war to control the straits between the Myceni and the Hittite.
The idea was to fuse with the Hittite establishment...a multi generational tribal plot to control land, issuing down from the North Shore of the Black Sea, but also across the steppe, which had been "conquered" by chariot and horse.
This is again, what the Aryan Myth is all about...these are people who have developed a Warrior class through the wealth provided by wheels and horses.

This is again, what the Aryan Myth is all about...these are people who have developed a Warrior class through the wealth provided by wheels and horses.
Like Agriculturalists, they had armies of men, bred to be larger, fast, coordinated, and desirous to fight and obedient.
So, the Aryan is the bred warrior, yet this is visible in Akkad and Egypt before the advent of the Steppe Warrior breeding "program". No special claim. Obviously, the Bantu did this too, developed a Warrior class.
I think the breeding emerged from whom had a more aggressive a program...a kind of spontaneous development based upon accidental meetings with other peoples once an area became settled....and a genome peculiar to that area emerged.
Some of this genetic emergence is based on technology, so its safe to say that literacy now, has bred through favoring, this alongside the ongoing breeding of warriors, another type of human being that is "IQ" oriented.
But that has changed now.
Now we will have kids growing up inside of virtual duplications of civilization. This is just emerging now in fragments and whispers.
Wherein simulation vs literacy, all the things expected as skills will be introduced simply, and then slowly, over time presented as increasing complex simulations and models, of the adult reality.
Trade, law, contracts, courts, civil engineering, space engineering, farming, medicine, all these subject can be children's games, increasing made more real and complex, like Math, year after year.
The warpage necessary for literacy diminishes...the warpage necessary for physical prowess diminishes.
The literary civilization is subsumed under interactive 3-d game civilization, which is a more accurate form of simulation. Literacy tried to be simulation...it operated through plays and novels and poems, to describe the world. However, that was only because the world could not be traveled in one lifetime, the world could not be seen from space, the world could not be mapped in 3-d.
This means the role of language will diminish, while it may increase slightly in oral demand...the demand to evoke a world through written language will diminish.
Books difficult to read will diminish in adoption. They already are since Television.
Literacy' golden age might have been the 16 and 17th century (of European reckoning), a peak of writing wherein what it had to do to be effective could not overcome the longer ongoing practice of science...by way of metallurgical and alchemical development.
The remoteness and mobility had created a genetic stock away from the literate generations and generations coming from the Four Pillars of Civilization.
So the purpose and practices of the Iron Age did not really apply to the horse and wheel culture...this was largely a produce of Agricultural people. Seems odd to those who know the Iron Age as really the time when the Warriors could shine.
So the weakened roots also failed to close the North European to its own conceptualizations not based on terms from another language.
The accumulation, lets just say there are a absolute number of books...each generations making more...this accumulates and lets say at a certain number, one book per ten people for instance, a critical mass is reached and number of books creates a new knowledge...simply because, like ten commandments, the human mind has slots in its memory, and ten books then overcome ten commandments, in terms of packed in knowledge.
What of? I mean, what are a lot of these new books of?
Things.
Like plants and animals...now being documented. See? From whence Science emerges for illustrations BECAME legitimate knowledge, having been signs of mental processes or schemes of visions.
So, half genetically conformed to literacy and half disconnected (as a distant European leaving the tutelage of the mass of urban population to carry but one book, out into the Frontier), the American is a stalling for an even longer time, this phase of literacy.

So, half genetically conformed to literacy and half disconnected (as a distant European leaving the tutelage of the mass of urban population to carry but one book, out into the Frontier), the American is a stalling for an even longer time, this phase of literacy.
We now can see literacy as a phase of civilization which roots the digital, but which represents an earlier, smaller bandwidth of consciousness and application and understanding and reference.
One began to feel Math was more universal...and as Math education increased the literary also lost authority...we'd rather aim cannons with Math, than God.
In this way we could feel that the primacy of literacy might someday be replaced by Math...a mathematical language. We also yearned for simulated environs, in writing and in painting.
What literacy was seen as started out magical, lost its magic due to the claims being more spectacle than real, and losing the symbolism because the monsters had never really shown up.
Digital culture will have a similar adjustment phase, wherein, there are distortions and incorrect assumptions...digital age ministry is going to be quite a new adaptation, for its is even another step removed from a single book.
But there is more magic in oral traditions of telling stories...or telling the news or sharing the moment most intimately...after actually being there! Oh to travel and learn the truth of the world.
Also, the slot in the brain for learning symbolic manipulations will be marginalized...oral language and written language will conform...but the writing of letters and the reading of vast amounts of text and handling intertextual combinations...this process become a blink, so that any other time spent doing this in an old way becomes a odious chore.
So, that slot will be more limited, just in time, as the person gravitates to simulation education, and not literary education, and leaving only some remaining, which would have to be continued if not increased practice of symbolic manipulation, in Math.
We wont lose the nomening...the terming and labeling and...the closure of thinking into vocabulary "lauded" as knowing the thing in reality...the terms weaken in use too....so that the problem with literacy, its abuse by Nationalism or colonialism (terms of the Other) are obvious, and mean less a belief in the process of civilization IF that civilization continues to exhault, idolize in fact, literacy.
This means in fact that increasing Math literacy will subsequently sustain some of the language literacy, but as the Oral moves into stronger position, notation and clerical diminished, and Math remains to have the same demand in time as before, literacy falls to the wayside.
No one learns to diagram sentences. Grammar is a huge downer for most kids to learn (it was not for me...but I was odd).
Hence my critique of the state of Education, for it promulgates literacy, and then makes corrections for the habit of mind inculcated, wrongly, by literacy, it makes a problem in itself that it must make another problem to solve, which is an escalation of power beyond what literacy should have due to its limitation.
The power of simulation began to be eroded when Photography started. Then, it was first marginalized by motion picture, which evolved into television.
At this point, those adaptation of literacy, the improvement and increased regulation and practiced in greater musical accuracy, the improved Oral Tradition now returned, wherein, before, in the 17th century, it was a division between the written and the spoken.
We refer to the popularity of Theater...but Novels and political treatises, and philosophy and other books became a absolute improvement over knowledge.
Democratized memory in writing, when before we could see some people from tribal times had better oral memory, and then too became part of breeding program in priesthoods.
These people who possessed better memories...had to have enough to remember longer stories, so Homer was one of these people.
This also happened everywhere.
Anyway, the capacity now is another jump in progress to equal in quality, equal in reformation, but not equal in scale, of that transition from oral to writing experienced almost eventually by all people, yet, some earlier than other...which I call the Four Pillars: Akkad/Sumer/Indus/China.
Maps, as literacy used as story or info, this practice alone make this obvious.
So, the literary can be seen as a mid phase of the development of civilization and those people who thrived yet without conforming their population to literacy have skipped a step and might engage in conforming genetics to the digital age.
In other words, what qualities of mind and talent will capacitate to success, in simulated worlds?
Or, it is possible, to simulate "The World"?
This is what kids want to learn, to act like adults in a simulated world, or the world...where the mistakes to be made have no consequences...they have results, yes.
Where they can then find what it is they like to do in a simulated world, and from that simulation then engage in increasing realism and responsibility.
What is instead taught is a long slow process in learning to manipulate notation. This notation is in many cases, math, language...other codes. But never is it digital notation. That is too new.
When in fact fusing "language" with "math", both symbolic notations used to simulate....we know what that is, right? Programming.
This is not taught to children, though, programming would be easier, as it is both subjects fused into one.
Then, language of course, as written, an improvement in speech.
But what when the computer obeys speech?
The industrial age created literacy, standard. This is lost some of its steam in the 1920's, even more so in the 50's, and so now even more, a greater standard of marginalization.
Not to argue against notation.
But the children lose sight of the simulation that Math and "English" make. Kids had this problem with this during the Industrial age. To turn this into a prejudice of a flaw in the child is wrong...and this will become more obvious as another generation, perhaps when the Millennials kids start to go through school.
At that point, I am guessing 2020's, I will be politically active. Meanwhile, I will use part of whatever fortune to back alternative education...as I saw the "underground" and "counter culture" turn to "alternative" to then become mainstream. The educational establishment is confused, ignorant, and impressed with literary achievement.
Who of them is keeping up with my level of literacy?
This argues that for instance, philosopher like Hegel, who was obvious clued in to the alchemical and metallurgic thinking, formulated a literary construction of reality, straining the limits of language to force, by will, language to have a truthful as humanely possible "correspondance" with reality.
Also, the Post modern philosophy, both corrupted by the Marxist closure of reality into language, and further, the closure of language as a capable reality now vanishing into...something distrustful...largely characterizes not only the linguistic gymnastics but the fascination and prophets of doom, of simulation, and protestation, of many of the Post Modernists; the philosophers from the 60's until 2005 (when lets just say when the Internet emerged as that 'monster' to behold).

A large amount of what the west produced as literary is also marginalize as it knotted around the limits of language yet still had the belief in the power of writing.
We can begin to understand our own digital editorial slant merely in John Dee and many other transitions from Mystics and writing and schematics to printed circuits, programming and screens.
This works into the appreciation of language as a virus through Laurie Anderson, also, the problems of teaching kids the Industrial-Literary age, the custom of teaching literacy in Religion as dubious cosmology, and the valorization of language as integral to belief and identity in Nationalism, and the prejudice of the literary to the untutored...and the death knell of the urbane vs the rural.
We shuddered in these reflections during the 80 and 90's almost as the pupae of the digital age, still wrapped in paper, yet Humans capable of feeling the dawn of something new but not yet having those powers. This is the new age religion, the post modern philosophy, the economics of media, and the estrangement from a old humanity to a new humanity also evident in horror and images of biological transformation.
Bill Plympton's animation lost cultural cache (this happens to many things) after transformations lost is term....the label as a catch word for the future vanished as the horizon of what it meant to label then moved well past the horizon line and we are in a newer, brighter day of a more accurate world view.

I felt the idea of the World, a single idea, was possible, back in 4th grade. The globe itself is this tangible idea which supercedes the literary presentation of the world in whatever form or language.
The globe, a globe in a classroom, trumps any story or "description of" a world. In fact, the idea of parallel worlds is a literary falsehood presented by the obvious massive scale of the equality of any language with any other language.
They are all equal in their limitation. Another language has created, or generated, so many problems, its greatest irritant being the complete and utter contradiction of one's own reality as created by the preponderance of literacy, promoting itself, falsely, as these solutions.
It worked for awhile, but even as the digital age marginalizes languages again, those solutions language presented in the more rudimentary use of symbolism, which worked, now fall aside as solutions....just as the Oral tradition could not compete with maps, orders, letters delivered, and vaster codifications traveling through time better than faulty, contradictory, less efficient, memorization.
