Language, power & art.
-The beginning.
There is a prominent historical debate, perhaps without solution. The search of the link between signified and signifier and the roots of languages. How it all started, the deviations, the evolution of a communication tool to the complex systems of expression that we know today.
The first known form of written language is cuneiform by the Sumerians since nothing older has been found, but it had to be started many years before, surely across the imitation of animal sounds or sign language, but probably we can never have evidence to prove it, we also have myths and stories to support us, even though it does not seem like the best idea, we can not ignore that fiction is usually created through reality and the second almost always surpasses the first (not in all cases), a notorious example of this would be the Tower of Babel where we find a world with only one language. I'm not convinced by the idea that all the linguistic variety was originated in the same spot, but we could certainly have it in mind as a kind of ''utopia''.
-Human language.
The acquisition of communication skills is not unique in humans, not even hominids, we may never know if our system is the most advanced but we can all agree that it has had an extraordinary evolution in structure and form to the point of being much more than a communication tool, it's a open-ended and productive system, including a broad spectrum such as body language or memes.
There was a time when what worked was the ''magical'' vision of life, looking for causes in higher powers and divinities where the shaman was in charge of transmitting or transferring ideas between these different realities, and when trying to represent or show what had been seen, either by means of psychotropic substances or by an altered state of consciousness, it was made through what we know today as scenic arts, from cave paintings to the complexity of musical language, this power yielded by society was relegated to science in a long and tedious process but our subconscious loves the feeling of mystery and strangeness, so we keep developing shapes and forms of creative expressions for infinite reasons.
-Quack interpretation, the anthropocene.
although this can be the best era of humanity we may be living in a future we were not prepared for, a world of excesses and needs with a poorly planned political, financial and educational scheme that favors and encourages questionable methods.
It's difficult to overcome incoherence even with current advances, our nature is what it is and who knows what's coming, it seems that we are in a period of transition from the wars of regimes and rebels to the information war, reasoning and moral or ethical issues have been left behind, without resolving or questioning if there is an objective order of values, now they are created at whim.
The mind prison is very well builded, luckily today disinformation is an option.
I appreciate your time and attention.

with the syntactical nature of reality, the real secret of magic, is that the world is made of words. And if you know the words that the world is made of, you can make of it whatever you wish.
certainly, each of us could, but sometimes wishes collide or get lost in translation. thanks for your comment.
Me parece un post con un tema muy interesante, resumido y bien desarrollado. La aparición del lenguaje en la raza humana significo un gran avance evolutivo. La capacidad que tenemos para comunicarnos con gran facilidad nos ha permitido un crecimiento muy significativo. En cuanto a tu post, te recomiendo buscar como organizarlo de manera mas estética, centrado, negrita, cursiva y esas cosas que le dan un buen toque a un post. Saludos.
Me alegra que te haya gustado, la verdad es que no suelo dedicarle todo el tiempo que debería en cuanto a apariencia visual, en ello estamos, muchas gracias por tu aporte.
