How do we humans use language to live our daily lives?

Understanding life-words theory deepens our understanding of humans, their societies, and the culture and civilization they have created, opening up a "vision for the future."

Understanding the workings of the human mind, becoming aware of its workings, and learning the right words and knowledge will enrich and strengthen your mind. Life-words theory explains how your own mind is deeply connected to your way of thinking and living. Your way of life is your own mind and words.

Humans are beings who create and give meaning to their lives. It is our ability to think and recognize (judgment, creativity, memory; information processing) using language that gives meaning to and creates our lives. Understanding the role of words in our minds, along with our desires and emotions, leads to understanding our own minds.

The biolinguistic theory advocates "ideal realism (or realistic idealism)" as a universal human way of life, and advocates that human dreams and hopes should be realized realistically and scientifically. While this is nothing new, it transcends the limitations of the Western "rationalism" and Eastern "oneness of matter and mind" values ​​that exist to this day (the "theory of perpetual happiness"). This theory sheds light on how the mechanisms (structures) of "stimulus recognition and judgment behavior" in living (animal) activities evolved and developed with the acquisition of language, leading to the current crisis facing humanity. It also sheds light on what solutions are possible. Norio Oe, Senior Researcher, Institute for Human Existence

The acquisition of language transformed the patterns of perception and behavior required to adapt to the environment. In particular, Homo sapiens' new linguistic structure (thinking styles using subject-predicate constructs, and a shift from single-word sentences to logically structured sentences) led to a shift from "immediate, direct experiential adaptation to creative adaptation*" through "stimulus-responsiveness." This evolution led to humanity's Neolithic agricultural revolution approximately 10,000 years ago. This led to surplus production, population growth, and the resulting civilized society, resulting in today's rapid development and prosperity of humanity, and the subsequent realization of a shrinking society. The unique feature of language for life is that it has acquired the ability to create and recall not only non-existent (non-deictic) objects but also non-existent objects through complex vocal signals. This has separated human activity from nature and, conversely, enabled us to dominate and destroy nature itself.

(Note: Creative adaptation: Even apes are limited to responding to stimuli in face-to-face situations. In contrast, humans have acquired language signals, allowing them to verbalize stimuli-images, sounds, behaviors, etc.-and memorize and recall them internally. By manipulating and reconstructing them, they have created, developed, and adapted to a new world-a culture and civilization-that does not exist in nature. However, if humanity fails to recognize the significance of linguistic adaptation, it could fall into extreme chaos.)

Presen's Theory of Life and Language: What is Language? Why is the Investigation of Language Necessary?

Human Existence Q&A: The Coexistence of God and Science

◇ What are the conditions worthy of humanity's strongest, best, and ultimate ideology? ...stands scientific verification

◇ Psychology for a new era: Biolinguistic Psychology will transform humanity, society, and the world for the better.

★ In the beginning was life. Life became human through language. Humans existed alongside language. Through language, humans created gods and Buddhas, dignified humans through gods and Buddhas, and created demons, discrimination, heaven, and hell. God and Buddha exist, but as creatures of humans who acquired language...

However, humans can now understand the truth of human existence and bring lasting happiness to all life on earth and to all humans. Humans will soon awaken to the truth of humanity through the "biolinguistic theory."

★ Just like the "origin of the universe," the "origin of life" cannot be determined. However, human language was acquired by life to adaptively maintain and survive, and the "origin of language" can be determined. Life accurately recognizes the external world and takes adaptive action to maintain and survive both as individuals and as a species. Language is a means of recognition, thought, communication, and control for this purpose.

While it is possible to interpret the universe and life, whose origins are unknown, as creations of "God's work" or "intelligent design," it is not possible to define "human language," acquired by life, in the same way. Rather, such considerations merely reinforce the finiteness and fragility of human (living) existence through the human-acquired "words" of "God" or "Creator."

★ Today, both semantics in linguistics and value theory in economics share the limitations of Western thought (particularly Western epistemology and ways of thinking). Both address the issue of how to interpret the "ideological signals" that arise from communication between humans, but no conclusion has been reached as to whether this conceptuality is subjective or objective (socially universal), or what the relationship between the subjective and the objective is. This difficult epistemological problem can only be solved through the biolinguistic theory.

① What is the essence of life? ⇨ Details   ⇒ Life is a system (system, organism, cell) of sustained biochemical reactions in the unique environment of Earth. This biochemical reaction system maintains a "primordial homeostasis" of the internal environment centered on the function of proteins and nucleic acids (DNA, RNA) through energy metabolism with the external world, allowing it to survive in its diverse forms today.

② What is the ability of life to survive and adapt on Earth?   ⇒ Primitive life (cells) that emerged on the primordial Earth adapted to diverse environments and evolved into diverse forms of life. This ability to survive (adapt) is achieved by perpetuating a state of cellular system (primordial homeostasis) independent of the external world amid infinite environmental change and diversity.

③ What functions does life rely on to survive?   ⇒ For life, the three functions of "metabolism, adaptation, and reproduction (regeneration)" are the conditions for sustained (universal, unchanging) survival. Metabolism supports adaptive behavior by providing energy, while reproduction enables diverse adaptations beyond the limits of individual survival (aging).

④ How do organisms respond and adapt to changing environmental stimuli and dangers to sustain their survival? ⇨ Details   ⇨ Animals perceive, recognize, and select from an infinite number of environmental stimuli, responding and acting in a species-specific adaptive manner. The responsiveness of evolved animal behavior is controlled by the perception, integration, and response patterns of their developed nervous systems.

⑤ What are the limits of individual survival and the meaning of reproduction (regeneration) and evolution?   ⇒ The limits of aging and individual death are overcome through reproduction (reproduction) and adaptive evolution, and self-transformation and evolution (diversification) occur through sex (mating and fertilization). Evolution is a strategy for species survival by diversifying survival patterns to adapt to the external environment. ⇒ Reference

⑥ What kinds of "desires" drive survival behavior in higher animals? ⇨ Details   ⇒ In mammals, basic motivating desires are classified into those for individual survival and those for species preservation.

Individual maintenance 

Energy metabolism: breathing, rest/sleep, eating/drinking/excretion (internal homeostasis)

Safety: pain avoidance, pleasure-seeking, curiosity, defense (individual safety)

Self-expression: imitation/learning, exploration, recognition, play, dominance (developmental hedonism)

Species maintenance

Sexual relations: sexual love (love/sexual intercourse), marital relations

Mother-child relations: child-rearing (motherhood), protection, dependence, independence (growth)

Group relations: safety/security, support, order, cooperative behavior

Human needs (secondary, acquired, and cultural needs unique to humans, based on linguistic concepts and creativity)

[General needs] Verbalization of primary needs, creativity and cultural needs (pleasure-seeking/pain-avoiding), and meaning-making of self-image

[Ideological needs] Rationalization of pleasant and unpleasant situations, pursuit of causality, and goal realization (fantasy/exploration/why = religion, etc.)

[Material needs] Self-enhancement (medicine, martial arts, etc.), natural processing (tools, fire, etc.), socio-economic development

[Social Needs] Self-assertion and expression, meaning and institutionalization of social behavior (festivals, rituals, religion, economics, politics)

⑦ What emotional responses control and drive the behavior of higher animals? ⇨ Details   ⇒ Emotional responses are both internal responses and the driving force behind behavior. Emotions can be classified into positive emotions, negative emotions, and volitional emotions.

Positive emotions:

[General emotions] Pleasure, satisfaction, freedom, security, joy, fun, humor, etc.

[Social emotions] Solidarity, love, protection, kindness, safety, liberation, etc. (altruistic)

[Superior emotions] Superiority, confidence, self-esteem, victory, possession, control, etc. (selfish)

Negative emotions:

[General emotions] Discomfort, emptiness, anxiety, sadness, fear, embarrassment, disappointment, fatigue, etc.

[Social emotions] Loneliness, hatred, resentment, anger, jealousy, blockage, etc. (exclusionary)

[Inferiority emotions] Inferiority, distrust, self-deprecation, defeat, restraint, shame, guilt, etc. (masochistic)

Vocative emotions:

Curiosity, hope, expectation, desire, motivation, belief, duty, justice, challenge, prayer, regression, etc.

(The realization of one's intentions, goals, desires, and hopes, or the emotions felt upon realization; a sense of fulfillment or accomplishment; prayer, gratitude, or negative will. Most characteristic of humans, who possess language.)

⑧ What are the characteristics of thought and behavior in animals and humans? ⇨ Details   ⇒ Experiments and observations of animal behavior reveal common thought and behavioral characteristics with humans, such as conditioned reflexes, learning, insight, deceptive behavior, discipline, and training. However, by utilizing their social information processing abilities (intelligence and reason) through language, humans enhance their ability to remember, create, and judge objects, and expand their spatial and temporal adaptability beyond the concrete, immediate world. This has also forced them to adapt to nonexistent "false information and worlds."

⑨ What are the differences between vocal signals in higher animals and humans? ⇨ Details   ⇒ Ape vocal signals express and communicate their will as an extension of their behavior. However, human language can convert objects into vocal signals independent of actions, internally reconstruct the state of the object and one's own intentions, and communicate them to others. Humans create not only the direct world but also an indirect, conceptual (intra-discursive) world to rationalize, control, and act.

⑩ What are the principles of linguistic recognition and thought/reconstruction? ⇨ Details  ⇒ Language converts objects (nouns, "what") and their states (verbs, adjectives, "how") into vocal signals based on stimulus (object) responsiveness, communicating information about the objects and one's own judgments to fellow humans.

This process of verbalization (cognition/thinking) requires recognition of the object's state and one's own judgments (thinking). Expressions such as what (what), how (how), why (why), existence (be, become, do), inter-object and spatiotemporal relationships (particles), subjective possibility, desire, intention, and inference (auxiliary verbs) are incorporated, making the construction of complex sentences possible.

⑪ Characteristics of Western modes of thought and the origins of linguistic rationalism ⇨ Details   ⇒ Greek and Western modes of thought (cognition) recognize the absoluteness (convincingness) of existence to the extent that the world (object) is linguized (logos). In other words, Western rationalism does not acknowledge the existence of ambiguous, indefinable objects that exist before language.

In Western cognition, an object only becomes real once it has been verbalized (rationalized), so vague linguistic expressions do not convince Westerners. Western rationalism verbalizes subjective emotions (joy, anger, sadness, and happiness) as a response to an object. By doing so, it suppresses emotions as a motivator of behavior and allows for scientific observation (recognition) of "nature as it is." This became the foundation of Western scientific cognition and mastery of nature.

⑫ How do Western causality differ from Buddhist dependent origination? ⇒ Details   ⇒ The word "dependent origination" is an abbreviation of "inen shoki," where "in" refers to the direct cause that produces a result and "en" refers to the external conditions that facilitate it.

This is the idea that when a result occurs, not only the direct cause (proximate cause) but also the cause that gave rise to the direct cause and various other indirect causes (distant causes) are all interconnected, resulting in that result as a result of all of these relationships.

This is the idea that "if this comes into being, that comes into being," and "if this does not come into being, that does not come into being." It is not a one-sided logic of "existence" (having a beginning and an end) like Western causality, but rather a logic of interdependent causality (multifaceted causality) that includes nothingness (infinity) and emptiness (dependent origination).

⑬What is the relationship between life and dependent origination? ⇒Details   ⇒Life and individuals have a beginning and an end. However, this is not a causal relationship. The birth of life is not a cause, but merely a part of a change in the form of existence of natural matter (physical and chemical changes). Human causal awareness arises from a finite cognitive ability that originates in stimulus-responsiveness. However, dependent origination goes beyond the limits of specific stimuli and responses.

Living existence is a process of infinite change that transcends the limits of human cognitive abilities. In other words, life does not exist as a result of a specific cause; rather, it exists as a dependent origination, resulting from an indefinable "infinite causal relationship."

In this way, by understanding the limits of human cognition, one can transcend the chain of cause and effect and understand the Buddhist meaning of dependent origination, impermanence, and emptiness by living within a sense of temporal eternity and spatial infinity.

While the recognition of causal relationships indicates the limits of human cognitive abilities, the recognition of dependent origination seeks to transcend the limits of causal awareness. Causal awareness is a product of finite language, but only by understanding the essence and limitations of language can we humans understand the dependent origination essence of living existence.

Dependent origination emphasizes balance and sustainability (maintaining the homeostasis of life and the balance between the pleasant and unpleasant emotions of action and reaction), that is, unity with and interdependence with nature. Causal awareness emphasizes goal-seeking and development, that is, rationality and control over nature. Dependent awareness has no beginning or end, but rather is eternal and infinite in motion. Causal awareness has a beginning and an end, with eternity and infinity merely being ends.

Linguistic and rational awareness tends to lean toward causal awareness, while linguistic and emotional awareness is based on dependent awareness. Humans need both types of awareness, but to understand the true nature of life and humanity, dependent awareness is necessary. The evolution of life is not about development or progress, but simply the diversification of forms of existence in response to the diversity of the natural environment.

[The Global Environment and the Survival of Life] ⇨ Here

Life has acquired the ability and systems for sustainable survival (homeostasis) amid the diversity, instability, embracing, and destructiveness of the global environment. The global environment gave birth to life, but its survival is maintained through the delicate balance between the environment and life.

[Structure and Function of the Mind] ⇨ Here

The human mind was formed through the interaction of human language with the mammalian mind (desires and emotions). Language interacted with animal thought, dramatically expanding our information-processing capabilities. The mind is a complex interaction of survival needs and emotional response patterns, with the amplification and suppression functions of language and thought.

[The Human Mind and Happiness] ⇨ Here

Animal beings satisfy desires such as appetite, sexuality, safety, and self-expression, while also seeking pleasure and avoiding discomfort as emotional responses. The human mind is not simply a direct response to stimuli or desire satisfaction; its emotional responses are complex, driven by linguistic thinking and behavioral control. Happiness is not merely fleeting; it is also strongly influenced by volitional emotions with specific goals and desires, leading to religious feelings such as the absolute, eternity, the sublime, enlightenment, and resignation.

Happiness can be classified into three forms. ① Momentary Happiness ② Process Happiness ③ Persistent Happiness

[What are Volitional Emotions?] ⇨ Here

Volitional emotions are conceptual emotions that arise in conjunction with linguistic and volitional behavior, unique to humans. Volitional emotions are physical and physiological "responses" that have an intellectual and intellectual background (knowledge and information are stimuli that lead to responses). However, these responses are purposeful and proactive, including dreams, hope, love, and faith, which are sustained responses that seek pleasure (positive emotions) and challenge and overcome discomfort and pain (negative emotions).

[Emotions and Personality Formation] ⇨ Here

Personality is a unique pattern of responses and behaviors, and is therefore closely related to emotional responses. Excessive exposure and learning of negative emotions such as anxiety and fear in infants and young children leads to the development of a highly cautious and nervous personality. Conversely, frequent exposure to emotions of security and joy leads to the development of a more emotionally stable and proactive personality. Furthermore, many volitional emotions are higher-level response patterns (personality) that develop with mental independence after adolescence. Furthermore, the intensity and speed of emotions and behaviors in personality are related to the strength of physiological needs and the acuity of perceptual response processes.

[Animal Thinking and Linguistic Human Thinking] ⇨ Here

By comparing animal and human thinking based on the stimulus-responsiveness and adaptive patterns of living organisms, we elucidate the role of language in thinking. Animal thinking functions only when faced with an object (stimulus). However, human thinking is established and functions by internally and autonomously processing, reconstructing, and creating objects (information, meaning, subject-predicate) expressed in language (sound signals/stimuli).

★ [Definition] The following are characteristics of human thinking (cognition) that distinguish it from other animals: Animals have difficulty (or perhaps none?) in cognition (thinking/judgment) that is unrelated to behavior (reaction) and lacks a direct perceptual object (stimulus) (direct thinking/behavior). In contrast, humans are capable of creative (evocative) cognitive thought through linguistic stimuli as a second signaling system (intercognitive thought and action, creative evocative thought and action, linguistic human thought and action).

- The existence of life is only revealed through dependent origination (causality) that transcends causality. -

○ Nietzsche said "God is dead," but he did not say "God is unnecessary." Humans created God to give meaning to their own existence; God is not dead, but is no longer necessary. By understanding the truth and meaning of their own existence, humans no longer need God. From now on, humans must use their own knowledge and wisdom to live together in cooperation and cooperation, with a spirit of compassion and sharing, while always being conscious of this finite Earth. -

○ All life on Earth is constantly living in the "here and now" environment, striving for perpetual survival (sustainability) through each of their chosen survival styles (species and diverse personalities).

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

[What is Life-Words Theory?]

Life-Words Theory (LWT) views language as an essential characteristic of humans. It believes that understanding humans and language requires a perspective of "language for life" and "life that has acquired language."

Living organisms (especially animals) adapt to the infinite changes in their environment, striving to maintain and thrive as individuals and their species. However, correctly recognizing and understanding the environment (stimuli and information) and reliably communicating and sharing their intentions and information with others is beneficial for the survival of individuals and the species.

For this reason, each species possesses optimal sensory organs (five senses) and means of expression and communication (movement, sound, pheromones, etc.) in response to environmental stimuli. They utilize and integrate these through neural networks (or biochemical reactions) to influence the environment (response and behavior) and satisfy their need for survival.

Language as a vocal signal is the most evolved and versatile of these stimulus-response processes, and it is what has enabled life to evolve into humans, the Homo sapiens (intelligent human).

The basic function of language is thus "recognition, memory, and transmission of various information," but processing vast amounts of information (recognition, storage, organization, and integration) requires the development of the central brain and the ability to produce diverse segmented vocalizations. Recognizing, integrating, and expressing these signals (information) poses various questions. Linguistic expressions such as "what is there (what) and how?", "what is the relationship between what?", and "which (which) do you choose?" are also necessary for higher animals other than humans.

Furthermore, the acquisition of language in humans has led to a dramatic expansion of ideas, knowledge, and information, suppressing direct responses and actions and requiring investigation of causal relationships such as "why something happens (why)," as well as an understanding of time (when) and space (where). To correctly perceive, communicate, and share this infinite information, we need a set of rules—a grammar—to reconstruct and create linguistic content (meanings and concepts) and organize and document that information.

Language thus enables creative activity for individuals and species, building complex and rich cultural and civilizational orders through the control and mastery of the self, social groups, life, and nature.

A "life-linguistic" way of life (way of thinking) considers language to be the essence of humanity and places the principles of life and language at the foundation of all thought, knowledge, work, and lifestyle. This approach can put an end to the previous epistemological and value debates about human views, such as idealism vs. materialism, mind vs. body (mind-body problem), behaviorism vs. cognition, as well as fundamental debates about God, Creator, religion, philosophy, and ethics.

<What is the significance of language and grammar for humans? >

Life, born as finite entities in a diverse and unstable global environment, has adapted in diverse ways to its environment in pursuit of perpetual survival. Humans, as social animals in particular, have expanded their field of vision by walking upright on two legs, developed free hands, and enhanced their cognitive abilities by acquiring language, developing their nervous system centered around the cerebral center.

Language, in particular, allows us to express objects and their movements and relationships (their states) in linguistic symbols, enhancing our cognitive and thought abilities independently of direct action, enabling us to creatively reconstruct the world and its objects. While we have increased productivity through the creation of tools, agriculture, and livestock farming, we have also developed religion, social norms, ideology, and political power that give meaning to and control nature and society (the creation of culture and civilization).

In this way, the acquisition of language has played a fundamental role in the creation and development of culture and civilization, an essential part of human nature. However, even today, in the 21st century, language has not been properly understood. The reasons for this are the detachment of linguistics from understanding the essence of life (animal activity), the Judeo-Christian theory of God = language, the inadequacy of psychology's understanding of the mind (spirit) that incorporates language, the pre-modern nature of philosophical schools that were obscured by linguistic understanding, and in particular the tradition of Western thought (the pursuit of absoluteness, certainty, and logos). (This is explained in "On the Origin of Language": Why Language Understanding Did Not Advance in the 20th Century Western Humanities.)

<The Biological Origin of Propositional (Subject-Predicate) Sentences>

In his book "Latin Grammar," J. Collard, who explained the structure of Latin, provides an explanation that single-word sentences can be interpreted as the origin of language (grammar). Specifically, in the section on "Verb Morphology," he states the following about the subject (noun) + predicate (verb) relationship that forms the basis of a sentence (proposition):

"Although verbs appear to us to be the central elements of sentences, the form we know them today is actually a late-arising grammatical category. Before the "verbal" construction, there was the "noun" construction, the key element of which was not the verb but the action noun. We may be able to get some idea of ​​this extremely ancient usage from several characteristic facts that seem to indicate the indifference between nouns and verbs." (Latin Grammar, translated by Jun Arita, Hakusuisha, p. 56, underlining added by the author)

Simplying the above, he also says, "Verbs are developed nouns" (ibid., p. 57).

What does this mean? What does "indifference between nouns and verbs" mean?

To explain from the principles (origins) of grammar based on our theory of biolinguistics, firstly, all animals (living things) live by recognizing and judging the adaptability of the external world (living environment) by determining whether its state (situation) is beneficial to their survival. Then, there is an object (noun; answer to the question "what?") that needs to be expressed in human language, and meaning is expressed through a two-word sentence with a verb (or adjective; answer to the question "how?") that describes the state or action of that object. Here, a sentence (subject + predicate) is formed that clearly conveys meaning without relying on the situation (a linguistic response to a direct stimulus in front of your eyes = the formation of a one-word sentence).

For example, when a ferocious tiger appears, if you say "Tiger!", even though it is a one-word noun sentence, it is clear that "The tiger is coming" or "Tigers are scary" based on the situation in front of you. With just the noun "tiger" and the verbs "coming" and "scary" (i.e., a one-word sentence), the specific meaning is vague, and it is unclear what adaptive and effective action (flee, fight, etc.) should be taken. This is why a sentence format (grammar) is formed (required) to express this urgent situation more precisely and specifically.

In other words, the linguistic expression "tiger!" (noun + emotion/action) immediately raises questions: what is the object, the tiger? What kind of existence is it? Similarly, the verb "come + emotion/action" or the adjective "scary (expression of emotion)" alone raises the question of what its true identity (object/noun) is. Thus, clarifying questions and satisfying curiosity are crucial recognition, judgment, and behavioral processes for survival, not only for humans but also for other animals, and only humans have been able to acquire the linguistic expression for this process. Therefore, when the author refers to "noun-verb indifference," he is referring to "single-word sentences" as the origin of language (grammar), and for the author, the importance of nouns or verbs lies in the noun (object reference using an action noun). In linguistic behavior, "expressing some experience or event and communicating it to others," determining the object takes priority. Eventually, the relationship between subject-object and predicate situation/action is established as grammatical rules to clarify the object's situation and action. (For example, in English, this is done through word order, in Latin through inflections, and in Japanese through particles.)

As an aside, the root of grammatical diversity lies in the question of how infinite objects (nouns/subjects, "what") are distinguished (selected) and how the motives and relationships (predicates and objects) give rise to those states and actions. A well-known and important example is the era dominated by "Greek mythology" (Aegean civilization, 8th century BC, before Homer; see "Criticism of Western Thought"), which viewed human desires, emotions, and even will as passive in relation to the gods. In ancient Greece, linguistic expressions developed for social survival activities were not based on the desires, emotions, or intentions of the speaker (human), but rather on the intentions of human-created spirits or gods. All situations and phenomena in the universe were considered to be the will (the driving force of infinite objects) of spirits or gods (natural law, logos). Against this cultural (mythological) background, the "mythical worldview," the linguistic expression of phenomena (the emotions and intentions of the gods), became a rational expression independent of the subject (human) as logos (language, logic). In fact, in the time of Hesiod and Homer, the desires and emotions of the human subject were controlled by the external will of the gods. This was not simply a literary expression; it was the actual movement of the Greek mind, controlled by language (logos; the language of the gods) (the separation of desires, emotions, and linguistic expression, logos). Homer's heroic epics and Hesiod's Theogony consistently describe "human control by the logos of the gods." (Even within the same mythology, in the Japanese mythology of the Kojiki, humans pray to the gods but are not controlled by them. Human origins are considered grass, and the power of Kotodama (spirits of words) is unclear. See "Japanese Cultural Studies.")

◇ Life has a meaning (purpose) of maintaining and continuing existence. Humans, who have acquired language as living beings and are at the pinnacle of evolution, must accurately express and embody the meaning of their existence (the survival of individuals and the species) linguistically ("to continue living"). The significance of language acquisition is that it enables living beings to linguistically recognize the state of their environment (stimuli and information), communicate and share it socially (mutually), and carry out survival activities appropriately through linguistic thinking (reason/logos). However, cognition and communication are prone to errors and intentional deception/lies, so it is desirable to use language as a tool with careful consideration and rationality.

◇ What are the conditions worthy of being humanity's strongest, best, and final ideology? ...withstands scientific verification

- Life activities are governed by the principles of physical and chemical action and reaction, and stimulus-responsiveness, in an infinitely diverse environment.

- Life activities are mediated by the unique system of cells, which enables energy metabolism in the unique environment of Earth.

- Animal activity is controlled by pleasure and displeasure responses, and is aimed at realizing the desire for "survival of the individual and the species."

- Multicellular animals perceive, transmit, and control external stimuli via their nervous systems, adapting to their environment.

- Animal activity is driven by accurate understanding of environmental information and adaptive judgments based on that information.

- Animals communicate their intentions through bodily changes such as movement, voice, gaze, and smell, but voice excels in its ability to communicate over long distances.

- The difference in stimulus-responsiveness between animals and humans is that humans, using language as a second signaling system, have created a linguistically imaginative world within the cerebrum, making them less susceptible to direct environmental stimuli (deictic information).

Bipedalism enabled humans to develop creatively by giving us free hands, rich speech, a developed cerebrum, and language. The expansion and transmission of cognitive abilities through language and the knowledge-based understanding of the world freed us from the constraints of nature and made us free and prosperous. However, it also led to the destruction of nature, massacres, tyranny, and the deception of economics.

<A Correct Understanding of the Human Mind> - Resolving Religion and the Mind-Body Problem with Lie-Words Theory（LWT） 

If we misunderstand the mind, we cannot cure mental illness. First, we must consciously understand, through language, the question, "What is human existence (living)?" Understanding human existence begins with unraveling the human mind, which is a living thing. The human mind is composed of human linguistic and conscious expression and meaning, based on a foundation of physiological and unconscious responses to animalistic survival desires and emotional responses.

The world's traditional universal religions (Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism) that fundamentally defined human existence and the mind (or so they believed) were founded on the genius understanding of the mind (spirit) of saintly leaders (saviors, enlightened beings). However, traditional religions (doctrines) were not based on scientific knowledge and were formed based on mythical, non-universal worldviews (understandings of life, humans, and the mind, and creations of human imagination) such as gods, ancestral spirits, and Brahman, resulting in a frenzy of competing schools of thought.

This tendency (unscientific and unsystematic) continues in modern-day philosophy, psychology, political science, and economics, leading to ideological confusion. At its root lies the confusion (among all philosophers and linguists) in the understanding of language as a fundamental human quality, stemming from Western thought. We aim to clarify the significance of language for humans, overcome the confusion and stagnation of modern civilization (society), and build a sustainable, peaceful, harmonious, and happy global civil society.
