The earliest language was body language and, since this language is the language of questions, if we limit the questions, and if we only pay attention to or place values on spoken or written language, then we are ruling out a large area of human language.

One way to think about what psychedelics are is as catalysts for language development. they literally force the evolution of language. you cannot evolve faster than your language because the language defines the culture of meaning. so if there's a way to accelerate the evolution of language then this is real consciousness expansion and it's a permanent thing. the great legacies of the 60's are in attitudes and language. it boils down to doing your own thing, feeling the vibe, ego-trip, blowing your mind.

Lying is the misuse of language. we know that. we need to remember that it works the other way round too. even with the best intentions, language misused, language used stupidly, carelessly, brutally, language used wrongly, breeds lies, half-truths, confusion. in that sense you can say that grammar is morality. and it is in that sense that i say a writer's first duty is to use language well.
Lying Confusion Needs

We talk of the enormous virtues of work, but it turns out that that is mostly for the poor. if you're rich enough or if you're a college professor, the virtue lies in leisure and the use you make of your leisure time.
