I was sitting in a meeting listening to
a social scientist creating a reality with his mouth. He was flashing
his eyes, pointing his fingers, threatening doom.
I noticed he didn’t have any
experimental data or observation, he had a string of slogans and
epithets, which having lost their original data and observation
didn’t make sense to me, having done some actual research and
gained certifications using the tools in his area of opinion.
He was long on threat, short on facts.
I couldn’t get up and leave without
disrupting the meeting, so I started to ponder. If I wanted to
create a reality with something other than my mouth, what would I
use?
Ears?
Had I seen people create a reality with
their ears?
Suddenly, I knew I was on to something
as ALL the people I respected for creating reality had listened until
they knew what they were talking about. This was an important point.
The guy at the front of the room was
getting louder, more excited, more threatening, more finger slashing,
as he sensed he wasn’t making much progress. Then I recognized
his weaker magic.
150,000 years ago, when shamans first
started negotiating and explaining the unknowable, they all had mouth
sounds, threatening gestures, and sudden moves. But the more powerful
explainers also gained the ability to leverage their power by
slamming sticks into the ground, while whirling and shouting.
And I am a golfer.
