Humanity's Greatest Skill

Tuesday, September 23, 2025

Good morning, The Wonderfell Way.

Autumn made it.

Temperatures drop with the leaves.

The trees remember there's a whole box full of crayons, put green back, grab another color, and another and more... color each leaf unique and new before it falls to join the others to weave Autumn's full spectrum'd Fall fashioned floor.

Dawn starts, a dimly lit movie theatre shows evergreens and oak silhouettes.

Thank you for reading, for the company of your attention. O/

On with our show...

Ever wonder about that... what happens when you read?

They're just scratches and scrawls, touches and taps of keys. Here we are with our secret code to share everything... we call it language.

A lot of people share our secret knowledge.

Our alphabet is worth so much magic.

So powerful we program metal and plastic to follow its instructions. Every screen tap on your phone is a prompt for a certain spell (a programmer's code) to be cast.

Words make civilizations go 'round.

Been that way since humanity started.

It becomes more evident now.

So much depends directly on text these days.

A good time to finally see what poets have been harping about for millennia. O/

Language, the power to make words, is humanity's greatest skill.

"But we can fly to the Moon and beyond."
- Reader Missing the Point

"Not without words to make the ship... you can't."
- Author Emphasizing the Point

We separate math and linguistics, numbers and words, but they both perform the same function: The measurement of experience in symbol so we can share and build together.

Numbers are limited by necessity of their function. In fact that is what a number is for: to express a limit, an amount.

Math is a beautiful language, though. I wish it was taught as such.

Think of how different, how quick, our culture would grow, if we began teaching mathematics as a foreign language instead of like a grueling wrote exercise.

Some poet's morning thoughts, AI pics for embellishments, an option to other screens.

I appreciate your time and consideration. Hopefully you find peace and inspiration (and wonder, of course) here.

Take care and make wonderful this wonderful day.
