in G minor: A Speech Written for Gunnar Beck MEP"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>0001 Gunnnar Beck of the&nbsp;<em>Alternative Fur Deutschland<\/em>&nbsp;Party, a member of the European Parliament, schedules a speech for the current session.&nbsp;&nbsp;A few members mill about an almost empty chamber.&nbsp;&nbsp;The speech lasts for around fifteen minutes.&nbsp;&nbsp;In that brief span, this statesman provides a true alternative for Germany, as well as all of Eurasia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He reads the following text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0002 &#8220;Today, I want to address a topic that has recently come to my attention.&nbsp;&nbsp;The topic concerns the start of&nbsp;<em>our current Lebenswelt<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;The topic should be of interest to all Europeans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember the stories of Adam and Eve?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(laughter by the few in attendance)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that they are myths.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, we cannot imagine what the myths are about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I ask: Can we imagine that these myths point to a scientific project that calls all the nations in Eurasia to contribute?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0003 During the past dozen years, a literary figure, Razie Mah, has published a dramatically new approach to human evolution.&nbsp;&nbsp;He offers three works:&nbsp;<em>The Human Niche<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>An Archaeology of the Fall<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>How to Define the Word &#8220;Religion&#8221;<\/em>.&nbsp;<em>The Human Niche<\/em>&nbsp;covers&nbsp;<em>the Lebenswelt that we evolved in<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>An Archaeology of the Fall<\/em>&nbsp;introduces&nbsp;<em>the first singularity<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>How To Define the Word &#8220;Religion&#8221;<\/em>&nbsp;explores&nbsp;<em>our current Lebenswelt<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0004 I will briefly elaborate the proposals of this scholar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the first hypothesis.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Our current Lebenswelt<\/em>&nbsp;is not the same as&nbsp;<em>the Lebenswelt that we evolved in.<\/em>&nbsp;&nbsp;The transition from the latter to the former occurs in recent prehistory and is called &#8216;the first singularity&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0005 The second hypothesis concerns&nbsp;<em>the Lebenswelt that we evolved in<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are all familiar with the biological principle that natural selection brings adaptations into relation with a niche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0006 I ask, &#8216;What is a niche?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A niche is&nbsp;<em>the potential of something independent of the adapting species<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Typically, the niche is a material condition, say, the presence of a predator or an environmental influence.&nbsp;&nbsp;For humans, the niche is not a material condition.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>The human niche<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>the potential of triadic relations<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The philosopher Charles Peirce initiates the study of triadic relations in the modern era.&nbsp;&nbsp;Examples includes signs, mediations, judgments and category-based nested forms.&nbsp;&nbsp;Triadic relations encompass mechanical cause and effect, even as they transcend it.&nbsp;&nbsp;Triadic relations are immaterial, yet they entangle the material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0007 Consequently, triadic relations offer a new avenue for investigating&nbsp;<em>the Lebenswelt that we evolved in<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;The book,&nbsp;<em>The Human Niche<\/em>, plus its attending commentary, starts the inquiry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0008 The third hypothesis concerns&nbsp;<em>our current Lebenswelt<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider the spoken word, &#8220;religion&#8221;.&nbsp;&nbsp;This spoken word belongs to a system of differences.&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;Religion&#8221; is not the same as &#8220;spirituality&#8221;.&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;Spirituality&#8221; is definitely not the same as a &#8220;church&#8221;.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A &#8220;church&#8221; is not the same as &#8220;a popular belief that there is more to reality than material being&#8221;.&nbsp;&nbsp;In short, the word, &#8220;religion&#8221;, is purely symbolic and symbols belong to systems of differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0009 Do systems of differences have anything to do with language?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, according to Ferdinand de Saussure, language consists of two related systems of differences:&nbsp;<em>parole<\/em>&nbsp;(or talk) and&nbsp;<em>langue<\/em>&nbsp;(or thought).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When&nbsp;<em>parole<\/em>&nbsp;is speech-alone talk, its relation to&nbsp;<em>langue<\/em>&nbsp;is arbitrary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If speech is arbitrarily related to thought and if words compose systems of differences, then how do we know what a spoken word refers to?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0010 This is a difficult question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Razie Mah proposes that we project meanings, presences and messages into spoken words.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then, we construct artifacts that validate our projections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;<em>How to Define the Word &#8220;Religion&#8221;<\/em>, Razie Mah projects purely relational structures into the meaning, presence and message of the word, &#8220;religion&#8221;, creating artifacts that validate the term.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, the artifacts do not quite match&nbsp;<em>what most of us think when we say the word, &#8220;religion&#8221;.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0011 Remember Eve in the Garden of Eden?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She performs the identical operations.&nbsp;&nbsp;She sees the fruit.&nbsp;&nbsp;She names the fruit with a spoken word.&nbsp;&nbsp;She projects meaning, presence and message into its name.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then, the fruit becomes an artifact that validates her projection.&nbsp;&nbsp;Until, of course, the moment that she bites into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, her eyes are opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This story should be familiar to all Europeans, because, right now, the eyes of many citizens are being opened, as our artifacts fail to live up to our projections.&nbsp;&nbsp;Indeed, we find that our artifacts are not at all&nbsp;<em>what we think they are<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;We have tasted&nbsp;<em>the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;And, we realize that we are naked and exposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0012 There is a foundational problem with&nbsp;<em>our current Lebenswelt<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This problem does not operate in&nbsp;<em>the Lebenswelt that we evolved in<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what is the difference between&nbsp;<em>our current Lebenswelt<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>the Lebenswelt that we evolved in?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0013 This brings me back to Razie Mah&#8217;s first hypothesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is the nature of the first singularity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me start with this.&nbsp;<em>&nbsp;The evolution of talk<\/em>&nbsp;is not the same as&nbsp;<em>the evolution of language<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hand talk is practiced in&nbsp;<em>the Lebenswelt that we evolved in.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em>Speech is added to hand talk at the start of our species, over two-hundred thousand years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The semiotics of hand talk<\/em>&nbsp;is crucial.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Manual-brachial word-gestures<\/em>&nbsp;image and point to&nbsp;<em>their referents.<\/em>&nbsp;&nbsp;So, the referent stands before the gestural word.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hominins cannot project meaning, presence and message into their gesture-words.&nbsp;&nbsp;Such projections require symbols.&nbsp;&nbsp;Manual-brachial gestures are icons and indexes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0014 Consequently, our distant ancestors cannot perform explicit abstraction.&nbsp;&nbsp;Rather, abstractions are implicit.&nbsp;&nbsp;Implicit abstractions build our bodies and our minds.&nbsp;&nbsp;Implicit abstractions build our social circles.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is the way that we evolved to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Language consists of symbolic operations.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Symbolic operations<\/em>&nbsp;start to function beneath&nbsp;<em>the icons and indexes of hand talk<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Consequently, language evolves in the milieu of hand talk, as symbolic operations become more and more routine.&nbsp;&nbsp;General grammar appears after the domestication of fire.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hominins prosper with fire and linguistic hand-talk.&nbsp;&nbsp;When humans evolve, speech gets added to hand talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anatomically modern humans practice hand-speech talk for two-hundred thousand years.&nbsp;&nbsp;Humans settle all habitable continents.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then, around seven-thousand eight-hundred years ago, something strange happens.&nbsp;&nbsp;A new culture appears on the edge of the Persian Gulf.&nbsp;&nbsp;That culture practices speech-alone talk.&nbsp;&nbsp;That culture is&nbsp;<em>the Ubaid of southern Mesopotamia<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0015 At the beginning of the first singularity, the Ubaid is the only culture practicing speech-alone talk.&nbsp;&nbsp;All surrounding cultures practice hand-speech talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, all civilizations practice speech-alone talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0016 Obviously, speech-alone talk expands from the Ubaid to all the world.&nbsp;&nbsp;It does so, through mimesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The transition is easy.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>All that a hand-speech talking culture needs to do<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>drop the hand-talk component of its hand-speech talk<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The motivation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speech-alone talk increases labor and social specialization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speech-alone talk makes people wealthy and powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speech-alone talk allows explicit abstraction.&nbsp;&nbsp;Speech-alone talk permits people to project meanings, presences and messages into purely symbolic words.&nbsp;&nbsp;Speech-alone talk encourages people to construct artifacts that validate those projections.&nbsp;&nbsp;Consequently, speech-alone talk places no constraints on social complexity.&nbsp;&nbsp;Speech-alone talk potentiates civilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;0017&nbsp;<em>The hypothesis of the first singularity<\/em>&nbsp;explains why&nbsp;<em>our current Lebenswelt<\/em>&nbsp;is not the same as&nbsp;<em>the Lebenswelt that we evolved<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If&nbsp;<em>the hypothesis of the first singularity<\/em>&nbsp;is plausible, then our appreciation of ourselves will never be the same.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0018 Here, I get down to business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The hypothesis of the first singularity<\/em>&nbsp;mandates&nbsp;<em>an intercivilizational research project<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Can we visualize the spread of speech-alone talk, from the Ubaid to all the world, in recent prehistory?&nbsp;&nbsp;We are looking for&nbsp;<em>signs of increasing social complexity,<\/em>&nbsp;eventually leading to civilization in various regions of the world.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, that is not all.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>The adoption of speech-alone talk<\/em>&nbsp;leads to many other trends that appear in recent prehistory, such as the Indo-European and the Austronesian language expansions.&nbsp;&nbsp;The question opens wide vistas.&nbsp;&nbsp;Archaeologists of the world, hear our plea.&nbsp;&nbsp;Nations of the Eurasia, hear our voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We look to Iraq, the site of the Ubaid, the Halaf, and the Hassuna cultures.&nbsp;&nbsp;History begins in Sumer.&nbsp;&nbsp;We look to Iran, the site of the Susa culture, showing signs of social complexity, then, collapsing in the face of a Uruk expansion.&nbsp;&nbsp;We look to Egypt.&nbsp;&nbsp;Could speech-alone talk have spread to Egypt from Mesopotamia, potentiating civilization along the Nile?&nbsp;&nbsp;We look to the nations of the Aegean.&nbsp;&nbsp;Could the adoption of speech-alone talk contribute to the rise of Bronze Age civilizations.&nbsp;&nbsp;We look to Europe.&nbsp;&nbsp;Could the secondary farming expansion have spread speech-alone talk?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We look to Russia, as the site where the Proto-Indo-European culture coalesces.&nbsp;&nbsp;What is the prehistory of the Kurgan culture?&nbsp;&nbsp;We look to Pakistan and India, asking them to explore the prehistoric cultures giving rise to the planned cities of the Harappan culture.&nbsp;&nbsp;We look to China, for signs of increasing social complexity, leading to the Longshan culture, among others.&nbsp;&nbsp;We look to Japan, for the emergence of social complexity during the Jomon period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We look to China, Taiwan, Philippines, New Guinea, and other nations of the eastern Pacific, asking them to investigate the nature and the timing of the Austronesian language expansion.&nbsp;&nbsp;We look to Peru and Ecuador, site of the oldest civilizations in the Americas.&nbsp;&nbsp;We look to Mexico and central America for signs leading to Mesoamerican civilizations.&nbsp;&nbsp;We look to North America, for the archaeology of the mound-building cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0019 We propose that&nbsp;<em>The First Intercivilizational Conference on the First Singularity<\/em>&nbsp;be held, in the year 2025, in Berlin.&nbsp;&nbsp;Within two years, archaeologists can collate existing information with the hypothesis in mind.&nbsp;&nbsp;The intent of this conference will be to establish collaborative intercivilizational research programs.&nbsp;&nbsp;Seven years later, a second conference should give the world an indication as to the credibility of&nbsp;<em>the hypothesis of the first singularity<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0020 Razie Mah offers three works,&nbsp;<em>The Human Niche<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>An Archaeology of the Fall<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>How to Define the Word &#8220;Religion&#8221;<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>These three works<\/em>&nbsp;transform&nbsp;<em>our vision of human evolution<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First,<em>&nbsp;our current Lebenswelt<\/em>&nbsp;is not the same as&nbsp;<em>the Lebenswelt that we evolved in<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;The transition from the latter to the former is called &#8220;the first singularity&#8221;.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>The first singularity<\/em>&nbsp;involves&nbsp;<em>a change in the way humans talk<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second,<em>&nbsp;the human niche<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>the potential of triadic relations<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Third,<em>\u00a0the semiotics of speech-alone talk<\/em>\u00a0potentiates\u00a0<em>unconstrained social complexity<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0<em>Unconstrained social complexity<\/em> defines\u00a0<em>our current Lebenswelt<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0021 These three hypotheses should be of interest to all Europeans.&nbsp;&nbsp;They address issues of intellectual concern throughout Western civilization.&nbsp;&nbsp;What if the stories of Adam and Eve are fairy tales about social developments in the Ubaid of southern Mesopotamia?&nbsp;&nbsp;What if our ancestors adapt to a niche that is unlike any other mammal&#8217;s niche?&nbsp;&nbsp;How do we accept the claim that our spoken words encourage us to construct artifacts that then validate our spoken words?&nbsp;The implications are profound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0022 Most of all,&nbsp;<em>the hypothesis of the first singularity<\/em>&nbsp;should inspire this body, the European Parliament, to address the continent of Eurasia, and ask, &#8220;Will you help us investigate?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Archaeologists from all parts of Eurasia are called to participate in an intercivilizational research project. Can&nbsp;<em>archaeological investigations of our local prehistories<\/em>&nbsp;allow us to imagine&nbsp;<em>the adoption of speech-alone talk<\/em>&nbsp;as&nbsp;<em>the historical condition that potentiates unconstrained social complexity?<\/em>&nbsp;&nbsp;This is a huge question.&nbsp;&nbsp;This question extends beyond Eurasia.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, the question applies first to Eurasia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further details of this proposal will be forthcoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0023 I thank you for the privilege of addressing this chamber.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>0001 Gunnnar Beck of the&nbsp;Alternative Fur Deutschland&nbsp;Party, a member of the European Parliament, schedules a speech for the current session.&nbsp;&nbsp;A few members mill about an almost empty chamber.&nbsp;&nbsp;The speech lasts for around fifteen minutes.&nbsp;&nbsp;In that brief span, this statesman provides a true alternative for Germany, as well as all of Eurasia.
