What all human languages have in common is that they are exclusively composed of component parts, as these components, i.e., nouns, verbs, adjectives, prepositions, etc., are all without exception based on a comparative system applied to a limited number of identifiers, which define the limits of a language.<\/p>\n
This begs the question as to whether comparison has any meaning if it is unable to make an essential (e\u00f0li<\/em>) point, since it is unable to describe anything with sufficient clarity.\u00a0 Consequently, the comparators exult in the implications they have created, while the things themselves delight that for them there is neither division nor union.<\/p>\n In scarcely a century, the number of spoken and written phrases have undergone an exponential growth in the super-organisms we call civilisations, in the best case, this leads to a literacy that is not in step with arete<\/em>, i.e., wisdom, magnanimity, justice and generosity, and in the worst case, even creates obstacles to these qualities.\u00a0 If, rather than interpreting the self-organised interactions of ants, the inventors of collective intelligence<\/em>, had scientifically studied the behaviour of schools of minnows, no doubt they would not have mistakenly referred to Artistotle’s theory of the addition of individuals by confusing intelligence with arete<\/em>.<\/p>\n In summary, given the brief considerations set out above, we might consider that it would be absurd not to ask ourselves the question as to the type of act which necessarily requires a speaking<\/em> component to attain a goal, therefore forcing us to waste precious time, sitting in a solitary room, pulling out phrases from the end of our fingers, with our eyes fixed on the screen onto which these phrases are projected.<\/p>\n To understand the level of stupidity committed, you just have to take a quick look at the shimmering surface of Alfavatn.\u00a0 Someone who has never seen himself in a reflection will take the reflection for a precise, adequate representation of this thing.<\/p>\n It wasn’t that long ago that travellers passing by Icelandic farms were invited inside and begged to spend the night in the house.\u00a0 Anyone who has experienced the isolation of the Icelandic farms knows that silence in which consciousness blossoms, and anyone then leaving the house will have experienced the knowledge that this can bestow.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Effort increases perception, lack of effort increases stupidity.<\/p>\n Those days in the farms, when knowledge and experiences were shared around a vi<\/em>\u00f0<\/em> (both of us) <\/em> were therefore considered as festive days.\u00a0 There is credible evidence to support that these rare days are responsible for giving Iceland what now clearly sets it apart from other countries, for example, a vocabulary that does not include any word for the first person plural in the nominative.<\/p>\n And this is precisely the act, which necessarily requires the speaking component to attain the goal sought: begging passing travellers to stop to share their knowledge and experiences around a both of us.<\/em><\/p>\n We don\u2019t know if travellers will stop here to share their knowledge and experience around a two of us<\/em>, nor who such travellers may be.\u00a0 The goal sought is therefore necessarily unknown, and each step takes us towards uncertainty.<\/p>\n So:\u00a0 \u00c1fram!<\/p>\n Bernhard Pangerl, Publisher<\/p>\n Translation: Jackie Dobble<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There is a very old saying that goes: If you don\u2019t have legs to travel, then travel inwards.

<\/a>Given that everything is made of elements that can be compared and also some that cannot, we can only talk about something by making a comparison, and anything we say only comes from making a comparison, and nothing more.<\/p>\n<\/a>
