introduction

The universe1 is so complicated that to ever begin to describe it is to sail out into the void, yet I would be remiss if I did not mention I have noticed some things.

Most of the consequential secessions and religious schisms have had an unmistakeable linguistic character which provides some guidance for approaching modern insurrection and terrorism

I am certainly not saying religion can not drive people apart, from perpetual crises like Kotel and Temple Mount in Jerusalem to a joke by Emo Williams The point is that language is more fundamental an issue than any other, for lack of communication prevents all rapprochment.

Over time, as communication and transportation technologies have brought us close together, the issue of language comes to the fore.

They might have the same religion they might not they might have look alike they might not they might share a philosophy or taste in food or music or they might not but without language much of the rest is indeterminate

Not the soldier, dollar nor idea travels except through space and time. Bombs, books and bushels travel over roads, on ships and by plane, while ideas travel in people's minds. The first barrier is physical, or geo-political, but the next barrier, for ideas and books, is language.

The key to any good relationship is good communication.misjudging "red" lines, oversteps, indiplomacy

if any sentence in this text is wholly true it is probably this one which says that every other sentence is both true and false hopefully more true than false
