at Joseph Farrell&#8217;s Book (2020) &#8220;The Tower of Babel Moment&#8221; (Part 4 of 10)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>0032 So far, the pointed mention of\u00a0<em>a common language<\/em>\u00a0before\u00a0<em>the construction of the Tower of Babel<\/em>\u00a0suggests\u00a0<em>a single people speaking a single mother tongue,<\/em>\u00a0rather than\u00a0<em>a translator stone that maps between the language of an established elite<\/em>\u00a0(Sumerian still is spoken in temple halls and in schools of learning)\u00a0<em>and the language of immigrants<\/em>\u00a0(Akkadian is spoken by the newcomers, <em>both elites and common folk).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However,&nbsp;<em>the image of a common language<\/em>&nbsp;does not rule out the possibility that there is&nbsp;<em>an instrument, a translator stone, capable of rendering Sumerian into Akkadian and back again<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Plus,&nbsp;<em>this instrument<\/em>&nbsp;would be in&nbsp;<em>the hands of the newcomers, the &#8220;administrative&#8221; elites, who have taken over management and think that Nimrod is a great sport<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;These administrators would never cross Nimrod and his family.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, they might subvert the execution of those royal commands that do not advance their own interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact,&nbsp;<em>the established elites<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>the incoming elites<\/em>&nbsp;have their own incentives to fashion&nbsp;<em>a single people for the mighty hunter to rule<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0033 Indeed,&nbsp;<em>certain clues in the Genesis text and subsequent commentaries<\/em>&nbsp;argue against the suggestion that the term, &#8220;common language&#8221;, requires&nbsp;<em>a single people<\/em>&nbsp;speaking&nbsp;<em>a single mother tongue<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, what does&nbsp;<em>the idea of a common language<\/em>&nbsp;indicate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0034 Farrell asks the reader to consider late 19th and early 20th century inquiry into the Indo-European language radiation, which documents many of linguistic transitions through writing.\u00a0\u00a0Yes, writing is invented soon after the proto-Indo-European population rapidly grows and diversifies and settles new lands (including Europe, Persia and northern India).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The proto-Indo-Europeans are a single people with a common tongue around 4000 B.C.&nbsp;&nbsp;Writing first appears slightly later in Mesopotamia and Egypt.&nbsp;&nbsp;So, this language radiation picks up writing along the way, enriching the documentary evidence for&nbsp;<em>the hypothesis of a language radiation from a single population<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0035 Indeed,&nbsp;<em>scientific inquiry into spoken languages and peoples<\/em>&nbsp;shows that these two go together for&nbsp;<em>the radiation of the Indo-European family of languages<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0036 Can the same be said for&nbsp;<em>all spoken languages?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do&nbsp;<em>all spoken languages and populations go together<\/em>, all the way back to the population that founds&nbsp;<em>Homo sapiens?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if scientists obtain&nbsp;<em>a psychometric object<\/em>&nbsp;that can verify an affirmative answer.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>The psychometric object<\/em>&nbsp;cannot be writing, since writing starts, say, around 3000 B.C., and anatomically modern humans appear in the archaeological record before 200,000 years ago.&nbsp;&nbsp;Perhaps,&nbsp;<em>a computer simulation<\/em>&nbsp;will suffice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Statistical correlations<\/em>&nbsp;might work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0037 What does this tell me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does Farrell want to find&nbsp;<em>a key&nbsp;<\/em>in&nbsp;<em>the union of language and populations<\/em>&nbsp;(hence, genetics)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The union of language and population<\/em>&nbsp;is supported by&nbsp;<em>well-documented research into the Indo-European radiation<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;The divergence of the languages is documented in writing, so to speak.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The union of language and population<\/em>&nbsp;supports the&nbsp;<em>alluring psychometrics of modern linguistic inquiry<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Inquiry discerns more and more expansive language families, reaching back to the earliest&nbsp;<em>Homo sapiens<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Is the divergence of all languages documented by our genetics, so to speak?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such documentation will make&nbsp;<em>the union of language and population<\/em>&nbsp;uncontestable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will the union be so uncontestable that one can construct an ideology that says, &#8220;If we share a common tongue, then we are one people.&#8221;?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, can that ideology be so persuasive that everyone in a region buys into it, even though they speak different languages?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0038 I wonder, and in that wonderment, I offer the following three-level interscope as Farrell&#8217;s next procrustean bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a

5.&nbsp;&nbsp;In binary code, {5} is {1(2<sup>2<\/sup>)+0(2<sup>1<\/sup>)+1(2<sup>0<\/sup>)}.&nbsp;&nbsp;The perspective (2<sup>2<\/sup>) and content (2<sup>0<\/sup>) levels are

level,&nbsp;<em>the actuality of tower construction<sub>2b<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;is contextualized by&nbsp;<em>technical organization<sub>3b<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;and operates on&nbsp;<em>the potential

serve as&nbsp;<em>a stairway from heaven to earth<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;The tower is an invitation for a celestial being to descend and find refreshment.&nbsp;&nbsp;So, the number 3 is not enough.&nbsp;&nbsp;There is one more &#8220;level&#8221; that packs&nbsp;<em>the entire three-level social construction<\/em>&nbsp;into&#8230; um&#8230;&nbsp;<em>a content-level

Meopotamian epic,&nbsp;<em>Ennerkar and the Lord of Aratta,<\/em>&nbsp;notes that, way-back when, everyone addresses Enlil in a single language, then Enki mixes up the speech of men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the event, the mix-up involves&nbsp;<em>an envoy going to the mountains of Aratta,<\/em>&nbsp;in order to obtain gold and a specific form of silver, capable of participating in alchemic synthesis.&nbsp;&nbsp;What would the envoy synthesize?&nbsp;&nbsp;The translator stone?&nbsp;&nbsp;A philosopher&#8217;s stone?&nbsp;&nbsp;A formula to bind illusions, such as&nbsp;<em>an ideology that everyone speaks a common tongue,<\/em>&nbsp;to human minds, so that everyone accepts the ideology while, at the same time, obviously speaking different languages?&nbsp;&nbsp;A translator&#8217;s stone can be spell binding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0046 Farrell next mentions&nbsp;<em>the Mayan creation account<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Parallels between&nbsp;<em>the Popal Voh<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>the Tower

information.&nbsp;&nbsp;Human can identify the four corners of the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In particular, the gods identify intellectuals as the problem.&nbsp;&nbsp;In order to address their fears, the
