lyrics

Somewhat closer to the mark, I believe, is the approach of contemporary linguist E.H. Sturtevant: since all intentions and emotions are involuntarily expressed by gesture, look, or sound, voluntary communication, such as language, must have been invented for the purpose of lying or deceiving.* In a more circumspect vein, the philosopher Caws insisted that "truth...is a comparative latecomer on the linguistic scene, and it is certainly a mistake to suppose that language was invented for the purpose of telling it."

[ * "Speech was given to man to disguise his thoughts," Appropriately, this note is attributed to Talleyrand, diplomat and statesman. ]

- John Zerzan, Elements of Refusal, 1st Hardcover Printing, Columbia, MO. 2006 (1988), 36
