Primitive people invented gods to explain nature. What does it mean to invent? And why did they do that? Why didn't they just see what was there? Or maybe that's what it looked like. And language became that fixed idea. But I think of people today as primitive compared to nothing. Whatever it is it might as well be nothing. All we know is that it has our number. The introspective mind is of different kinds. There are different modes of intellect and some are destructive. The good thing about religious control is that it gives the state no choice, the bad thing about democracy is that it gives every state the choice not to be a state. And without a state, the gods come again, and we find new words for them. I don't think a person has to think in words, but as I just said at the beginning of this sentence, I don't think.
