[QUOTE="Zygo=cheekbone, post: 36309, member: 95"] Also language is definitely a prison ( or atleast a closed system), one of the reasons why groups like indo- Aryans and romans called people who did not speak sanskrit or latin barbarians and racial genetics was less important usually ( you could be a roman as a pretty dark Egyptian if you followed their customs and spoke latin). These people seem to have regarded language as more important than the dilution of blood ( although there is some nuance here) probably because the esoterica that their sacerdotal caste propped up over centuries becomes half-truths or misinterpreted when translated to another language even though care is taken. Nietzsche spoke about how greek, germanic and indian philosophy all were destined to reach the same conclusions because they all sprang from a wellspring of the original proto - grammar they shared ( although genetically Greeks are much closer to ancient indians) . I would say one can even take the corollary and say you can if intelligent enough predict the entire course of a civilisation, it's philosophy, cultures , mode of living etc just from the grammar it starts out with to the 80 th percent accuracy.
