Mathematics
It is wonderful how subtle a descent into negativity can be and how swiftly this negativity can be dispelled. All it takes is a decision to do so.
Human language is a dangerous thing. It can inspire to great heights like JFK and the space program, Ghandi and non-violent rebellion, but it can also inspire hate, war, and genocide.
There is one language that does not suffer misinterpretation and that all nations and cultures can learn to speak equally. Many people have already done so. This is the language that is vital to all human endeavors from before the pyramids of Egypt to far beyond the loftiest predictions of the technological future.
I think that those who speak this language will attain and maintain world dominance, and as skill with the use of this language increases, not only the understanding of concrete concepts (of course), but also increasing will be an understanding of the more ephemeral concepts such as emotion, the ebb and flood of history, and the ability to accurately predict the future. Isaac Asimov theorized this possibility in his “Foundation Trilogy”.
This is the language of mathematics. This language has ever been incomprehensible to me, and this is possibly due to the workings of my mind.
All I know is that this is a binary universe.
