Ooooh it could be a deep one. I’m going to throw this link out to those who like to read. The author, John Zerzan, of the article Running on Emptiness, the failure of symbolic thought ties together a lot of historical philosophical points and languange/cultural/artistic anthropology views to make the case that we’ve become trapped in symbology. That once we grew into a role of dominating the land, when we began to culture, and be cultured, we ended up shutting down that which made us truly alive.
It is an interesting point of view. I’m always up for a good jaunt out of the box. Thanks to Brian, for that one.
