i found this an interesting read, described the change in brain function caused by the learning of language and associating it with sensory perception... http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/11/18/brain-color.html
That line is interesting... Maybe we should consider the implications of such a switch on society as a whole.
the massive shift in perception of our surroundings inspired by the definition of the world around us in limited language... that is my interpretation at least.
couldn't have said it better myself. What would the world look like if we used mainly our right side to perceive things?
all in all, i find it impressive that the mind can be changed in function that much by the false imposition of order created by the categorisation of the percieveable wolrd through language edit... this possibly proves language the catalyst for our intellect and sudden explosion in technology and etc ecxperienced by ancient man.. perhaps fueled, as proposed by terence mckena (stolen from my head like 30 years in the future), by the consumption of perception altering hallucinogens, namly magic mushrooms...?
