Platotudes for the day: “The uncreated Word shatters created speech while at the same time directing it toward concrete and saving truth.” –F. Schuon

“Words are much more than mere words… Language easily accounts for (and therefore transcends) natural selection, which is precisely why natural selection cannot account for language: language is always one step ahead of the game, and to think otherwise is to attempt to give birth to one’s mother. Having said that, most people do not actually speak language, but are passively spoken by it, so that their thought becomes subservient to the viral properties of collective speech…” –L. Bob Gagdad, One Cosmos Under God
