Who thought to name things. Who thought I know I'll call that a kettle who thought I know I am a man or I am a woman.
Who's bright idea was it to tag all the things we see and touch and taste and smell and see every moment of every day.
A blind person can't see a fork if blind from birth but he was told it was a fork.
A deaf person can't hear a pin drop if deaf from birth but is told that piece of metal that fell is a pin and it made a noise

We are born and as we grow we are taught that that's your mom and she is a woman or that's a man and he is your dad.
Who the f**k gave us the right to say that you have a penis and are male but want to live as a female so have your member crafted into a vagina to become female or perhaps you don't you just start a journey to live as a woman.
You might have full surgery or just breast implants or nothing at all you might just wear a dress but you live as though you were born a female or a male. Yet someone some human out there doesn't agree that you have the basic rights to live as you wish starts to tear at your choices bullies you into feeling worthless and shaming you to the point of suicide or murder.
Who gave you as a human to tag anyone or anything and make that a point in which to bully and abuse that person for daring to be different. Most people are kind and generous and caring then there is the others the bullies the bigots the fools that can't pull there sorry asses out of the dark ages. I've interacted with a lot of humans on here and for the most they are caring sensible logical well mannered and generous people then there is the bigots the racists the sexists the ones that believe just because that's how it's been then that cannot ever be any different. It is to them I say unless your willing to open your eyes to the reality of how this world is headed and its ever changing cultures and peoples then you are the reason this planet and its good people are going to end. Not with a bang or a catastrophe of mass proportion its going to end with a bunch of fools who will invariably realise that all the stuff the have held as fact all there days is utter pish and that folk like me were right all along. Rant over.

It was everyone's bright idea because that is how we gain understanding -- by labeling and contrasting things we observe. These are not inherently bad concepts, it is when, as the Buddhists say, you confuse the finger pointing at the moon, with the moon itself. And when we use it to obtain conformity rather than celebrate difference while still seeing the common humanity in others.

The above paragraph has dozens of labels and concepts in it ... how would you get through that paragraph without agreed-upon names for things? The issue is not the labels, its how we use them.

Who thought to give words to concepts to categorize the similarities and differences of things? I don't know, but he must have been the genius of his time. We could not have made much progress as humans without concepts and words. They allow us to think and to communicate.

@darien75 Are they communicating with words? "...communicate just fine?" I beg to differ. One's ability to compose a grammatically correct sentence correlates with one's ability to think clearly.

@darien75 Please re-read my post. I didn't mention intelligence. I mentioned thinking clearly. There is a difference.

Take your post as an example. Yes, I may be able to figure out what you are trying to communicate, but it takes re-reading, guessing and lots of work to do so. If you used correct grammar, spelling, sentence structure, and separated your main thoughts into paragraphs, what you're trying to communication would become clear and it would be much easier to read.

Does a rant like that leave you feeling better?....does me.
