Language is a metatechnology, and it can accomplish more than computation. We’ve been ignoring it because, actually, our ideas about what language is and does are… to be kind… lethally simplistic. I want you to understand this: you can do things with language, and in language, that no one has -ever- considered or demonstrated to you. There are no examples, in the same way that, on a world of blind creatures, only one or two of them will be found to be painting with colors. This metatech is dangerous because it carries an unannounced enaction price. It remakes its users (and their living contexts) in what we might understand as reflections of the structure and purposes of their use of it. The ramifications of this are more sophisticated than are easily understood without specialized training. But I want you to understand something simple. Language is to technologies as the sun is to light. It generates them, and cultures, in peculiar symmetry with the structural and ontological projections inherent in its lexicons, grammars, traditions, linguistics, and application. Please, understand me: this stuff is as dangerous as nuclear explosives and as powerful as a transentient starship capable of instant inertialess point-to-point travel. You want to develop a lifetime relationship with exploring this matter deeply. The future of our minds and world is held in the strangely abstracted palm of our representational technologies and all of them begin with language. Go there. What’s inside this ordinary vehicle is as vital, mysterious, provocative and astonishing as all of space. And remember: you can make language -accomplish things.-. It is not what we have been told. Neither is it magic. It is metamathemagical, and more. The language beyond the story they sold you is the language of our ways and futures. Get some. Together. Now.
