Being Sapiens

Eliminating the falsehoods of patriarchy established in language means changing our habits of thinking.  We have to see rationality as an effective and efficient way of developing a more moral species and more civilized societies.  This does not mean that rationality goes it alone,  experience and emotions exist in our evolved  state as minded beings.  In this blog we consider mostly rationality.

Being sapiens means being speech-makers.   To make speech is to create useful information to communicate correct information and to communicate with each other as a speech-using species. The bit of "useful information" is enclosed in a name.  As a species, what distinguishes us from sheep, bees, cows, etc., is the fact that we make names: we create speech.

Rationality, based as it is on reasoning is a sensible process.  It is about applying logic in relating the facts as seen in reality.  It is evidence-based.  From an acorn, an oak. The facts are learned from what exists in reality through the names we give to it.  Thus it mostly always remains moderate.

Sapiens consist of fem and man.  The names are based on facts as seen in reality.   Since evolution we have been sapiens, speech-makers and users.  Nothing can change this.  We can make things right again by accepting the correct information about our species.

Making a man that's not man and naming him wo/man is absurd.  It is irrationality carried to the extreme to claim the whole species "mankind."   It is the foolish activity of a few men thousands of years ago who made speech items claiming the phallus to be "divine."   Such irrational activity cannot reverse evolution.  So making the change from phallic fantasy to the real fact is a matter of doing what is best for the common good of all.

We are sapiens.  Fem and man are equal speech-makers.  Both have to create speech thus creating checks and balances on one another to make sure nonsensical fantasy does not take hold ever again.
