I had a thought, an idea, an idea possibly worse than none at all, it being that a thread that didn’t make sense may work, or more it doesn’t have to make sense, something that would really take the pressure off, and it occurred to me i’m probably qualified for that, had more experience than many, perhaps most.
imagine for a moment not having to make sense, like a dream, or drunken party.
anyway i’m here trying to tap into that ability immature humans have, for them language is no great study, certainly not like it is for adults that have been forced to make sense for a long time.
imagine that, an age before you were forced to make sense. You’re an adult now, had an education, can speak well, all that and so much more makes sense than when you were immature. That alphabet flying around doesn’t leave you confused, you learnt what made sense.
but how much fun is it making that much sense, for that long, all the time, I mean the immature humans seem to be having a really good time, before they have an alphabet even, or certainly a written alphabet composed of distinct letters.
were there any benefits at all for our ancestors, way back, before the alphabet?
