This is episode 101.
The origin of speech remains rather mysterious. The development of complex vocalization and symbology is unique and may involve evolutionary necessity. Human survival has historically been dependent on social cooperation. Language allows us to share information, coordinate activities, and form complex bonds for success among species.
At the same time, there are profound ways that language shapes our understanding of reality, its construction and our place within it.
This episode explores the interplay between words and worlds and examines the limitations associated with ineffable mystical experiences and divine truth.
