Crossing Beringia: to Infinity and Beyond
30,000 or so years ago, a group of Orientalesque innovators broke away from their East Asian brothers and undertook exploration of Beringia. They had happened upon an intriguing landscape, a dip that had once been filled with water of the seas. It had opened up because of the ice age glaciation causing sea levels to fall. We now understand this to have been the Bering land bridge, connecting Siberia to Alaska. This was the route by which the Americas would become populated.
The first migrants into the Americas were of Orientalesque / Mongoloid / Amurian origin, originally having broken away from the collective that was centred around the Amur River which marks the border between what is now the Russian Far East and North-East China. The Proto-Orientalesques and their descendants were all fiercely spiritual.
They were also hyper-rational, the Orientalesque language family I propose consisting of the “Conceptual-Abstract” Tongues. It divides up between the Oriental languages of East Asia, including Chinese, Tibetan, Burmese, Japanese, Korean and Mongolian, and the Amerindian-Siberian languages. The Oriental languages are the “Efficient” Tongues, all buzzing about something related to efficiency and all Super-Tongues for enhancing the capacity for reason, and the Amerindian languages are the “Boundless” Tongues, all enhancing the capacity for acuity and buzzing about infinity. Infinity and efficiency are the two most ridiculously supreme Buzz-Concepts that the world has to offer.
On the first voyage across the Bering Strait, the Proto-Amerindians would have the idea for the Buzz-Concept infinity. The environment was cold, harsh, and trying. The voyagers had to look deep within themselves for the drive to proceed. They had a burst of inspiration which heightened their senses and crystallised into the initial idea for the Buzz-Concept infinity, or boundlessness. This radical new Buzz-Concept idea would form the basis for Amerindian culture.
Once the Proto-Amerindians had settled resolutely in Alaska, a tradition was set up whereby envoys would make their way back to Siberia and the Amurian heartland from time to time to keep their cousins updated about the progress they were making with the Buzz-Concept infinity and thereby with the shared Orientalesque heritage. The tradition was something people were extremely enthusiastic about. Envoys would be launched when a significant development was made with the Buzz-Concept infinity i.e. when a cool new trick emerged, or whatever. It was just about spreading and marking the apparent omnipotence of the Buzz-Concept infinity. In due course, Amerindian-style cultures would be set up back over in Siberia by the envoys, their descendants, or by later Proto-Eskimos. Proto-Alaskans would dream of being tagged by fate as envoys, bestowed with the most sacred of charges to make one’s holy pilgrimage back by way of the Siberian heartland to mark a sanctified development in the trajectory of the Buzz-Concept infinity. It was a huge deal for people.
Before it closed up, people would settle in the Bering Strait. Their culture evolved to revolve around the envoy-migrant tradition. They technically celebrated it in everything they did, devoutly eternalising the links maintained between Alaska and Siberia. They even had their own tradition of helping to get envoy-migrants hyped up whenever the time cane around for some to pass through. The legacy of the tradition has been preserved by modern Chukotko-Kamchatkan culture, which was originally founded on the premise of commemorating its loss. The Chukotko-Kamchatkan languages of Siberia, including Chukchi of Chukotka and Kamchadal / Itelmen of Kamchatka, concordantly buzz about eternality. These peoples are also obsessed with human sociality. These languages are technically Amerindian languages, strictly typologically speaking, of course.
If the Buzz-Concept infinity was so amazing, and so much “progress” was being made with it, why were people so eager to be tagged as envoys and thus to leave Alaska? An extreme régime had characterised life in Proto-Alaska. It was a system of governance of sorts revolving around the exploits of the Buzz-Concept infinity. The smartest and the most astute people sat atop it. Underlings were tormented and worked to the bone, you might say – exploited, even. The leaders were harsh and mean and devoutly spiritual and had no mercy when it came to enforcing the disturbing order. Underlings would often find themselves literally disorientated as the interminable, boundless scope of the Buzz-Concept infinity was mercilessly turned against them. People became sceptical about the notion of ascendancy, and modern Amerindians are thus very sceptical when it comes to elitism.
To Native Americans, the concept of language is totally abstract. It thus occupies a totally fluid role in their world. Using language is a very dynamic activity for them, and Native Americans are devoted to the experience of experience itself, one might say, because of this all. Amerindian language is truly a fascinating phenomenon, and one which retains astounding potency on a level both neurological and political.
Proto-Alaskan leaders indeed had the ability to disorientate underlings by appropriating the scope of the Buzz-Concept infinity in order to interfere with underlings’ grip on language and reality. It was so awful that Proto-Alaskan society turned in on itself. The system of course eventually failed and Native Americans are now much more relaxed about the Buzz-Concept infinity and their heritage in general.
It was so awful for the underlings that everyone else became convinced that the leaders would go to hell, or whatever the equivalent in Proto-Alaskan spiritualism was. When, rather, the Buzz-Concept fully concretised, solidified and evolved into a phenomenon so potent it drives the modern globalised economy, for a contemporary example, some lost hope and others became fascinated by the Proto-politics of it all.
Who invented politics? Oof, Proto-politics was actually invented by the Origino-Orientalesqueys back in Africa. The Proto-Amerindians then built massively upon the tradition, and remain ferociously proud of this. The division between those who lost hope and those who became fascinated gave rise to the initial division between the Northern & Southern Amerindian languages. The Proto-Southern Amerindian tongue, the Language of “Serendipitous Enhancement”, was engendered from the Proto-political fascination and a bunch of people immediately departed southwards from the heartland to propagate it and build on it.
Politics & language: history’s greatest pairing?
