The third ‘guide’ on the The Georgia Guidestones in Elbert County, Georgia, USA says, “Unite humanity with a living new language."

Think maybe the ‘new’ language the monument speaks of is HTML?

Any theories?

If you had said .php I would've gone along with it ;)

Interesting post though ramseye

# Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
# Guide reproduction wisely - improving fitness and diversity.
# Unite humanity with a living new language.
# Rule passion - faith - tradition - and all things with tempered reason.
# Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
# Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
# Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
# Balance personal rights with social duties.
# Prize truth - beauty - love - seeking harmony with the infinite.
# Be not a cancer on the earth - Leave room for nature - Leave room for nature


edit: sorry I can't be more helpful I've not heard of these stones before and just had to do a quick search

I completely forgot I started this post awhile back haha...maybe too many beers that nite

.php

.html

doesn't matter the (.) designation.

I think that this whole computer/internet'd world we share has been 'united by a living new language'. Maybe not a language everyone can read, but definitely a language that most everyone with access can comprehend.

I still think it is rather strange a monument like this was even erected, and for what purpose?

The security cameras prove that someone is interested in its maintaining it.

What language you believe tells more or less truth? Look at the language you are being now. What known and unknown effects does it have on you? I never make videos to make or force any belief on anyone. I'm only interested in providing awareness. What you do with what I offer is always up to you.

i believe it's a real -new- language, as in, a new spoken one, not based on dead languages, but one that takes the best from the current dieing ones.

the irony & multiplicity of meanings from english
the directness of german
the fire of spanish
the eloquence of french

and so on.

with perhaps an entirely new alphabet,
and a new number system to go along with it.

Unfortunately I don't know enough about languages and the world to make the list long, but i think there are some nice things about chinese & japanese, like in chinese, grammer is always in the present: they say: in the future, i am a doctor, or, in the past, i am a doctor, instead of i was or will be.
Seems nice because it is certain, in the present, that in the future present, they will be what they say ^_^

Also interesting thinking about language & philosophy of language & perception, wittgenstein, one of the more prominent 20th c. philosophers said "the limits of my language are the limits of my world"... and "all philosophical problems are essentially just bewitchments of our intellect by means of our language" like syntax errors, when you ask a calculator a question which it cannot understand.

Cheers & Peace guys.

Stop focussing on the doom & gloom so much ;)
