Children acquire the grammar of their native language simply by listening to their parents speak. They do not have to be taught the specific rules of grammar. In 1960 the linguist [[Noam Chomsky]] elaborated on [[Darwin]]’s notion. He proposed that children acquire a language so easily and naturally because humans, unlike other primates, have the innate capability of generalizing to a complete and coherent language from a limited sample of sentences. Based on an analysis of the structure of sentences in various languages, Chomsky argued that all natural languages share a common design, which he called universal grammar. The existence of universal grammar, he argued, implies that there is an innate system in the human brain that evolved to mediate this grammatical design of language. >~ [[Eric Kandel - Principles of Neural Science]] Indeed, humans have a [[The Map is not the Territory|map of the territory]] by default when they are born, society then brainwash us to be a productive citizen, then some are able to unwash their brain and [[Do not rely on authority|think independently]] again. Actually, [[Richard Dawkins]] argue that **language** is more of a way to manipulate rather than transfer information. This is how we have big brains, by running this [[Biology/Evolution/Red Queen|Red Queen]] competition between each other, trying to outsmart each other, know what they think, persuade and dominate. **Language** is driven by [[Game Theory]]. It is obviously imperfect. Everyone has a different model of things in its head. We can use the [[Socratic method]] to reach to rational conclusions, as in [[Mathematic]] axioms are combined into proofs. Is developing human **language** from the being, the discrete assumption the worst mistake of humanity? >The logical denial of the world and [[Nihilism]] is a consequence of the fact that we must oppose nonentity with Being, and that Becoming is denied. ~[[Nietzsche]] >The teaching of Being, of things, and of all those constant entities, is a hundred times more easy than the teaching of Becoming and of evolution. ~[[Nietzsche]] ** # The death of **language** It is a matter of years until **language**, as we know it, will disappear. It will be replaced by what [[Leibniz]] calls **Characteristica Universalis**, i.e. a **language** of numbers. We will exchange **tensors** representing the semantic of every object we face in the world through [[Brain computer interface]]. On this topic, human beings won't probably need mouths anymore, as they will also be fed directly by some better ways. It implies that **language** is not a [[Compound Knowledge]].
