The Ugly English Language, I

Whenever I say that the English language is ugly, most Americans are shocked and respond to me quickly. But, the English language became the USA language only by one vote. The other candidate was the German language. In this blog, I try to show that the English language was not the best choice. The 1920 discovery, which says that sense-data are primarily symbolic, tells us that the English language was a bad choice from the standpoints of science and avoiding the legislation of arbitrary laws.

In the 1600s, it was almost impossible for a German to reason using the German language. Even Gottfried Leibniz (1646-1716) had to turn to French or Latin. However, in the 1700, it took only about 100 years for the outcast Germans to rule the realm of intellectual commerce. (See Introduction, "The Theory of the German Word Order from the Renaissance to the Present" by Aldo Scaglione). But, you will be fooled. if you do not connect the 15th century writings of Nicholas of Cusa to this German progress and Leibniz’s writings.

The linguist progress in Germany in the 1700s was made possible by Leibniz and the royalty of Germany, Austria, and Russia who wanted to educate the masses of their nations. Interestingly, 200 years later, Hitler will think wrongly that the blond and blue-eyed Germans evolved as the first superior humans. Apparently, Hitler was lured to Darwin’s godless evolutionary theory. Fortunately, the US founders thought the right way in the Declaration of Independence by saying that ‘all men are created equal.’ Today, this saying was changed to ‘all men have equal choices.’’ This new saying of our godless economists is a typical example of why I say that the English language is ugly.

In the 15th century, the German, Nicholas of Cusa, gives us a reason why the English language is ugly. Cusa said that if Aristotle had been attentive, "he would have spared us and himself great labor; surely he would have handed down the hidden truth by means of words which are simple, very clear, and very sparse. For he would not have had need either of an elaborate logic or the difficult art of definition..." (In Ch. 19 of "God as Not-other" by Cusa) The English language thus became ugly also because England’s philosophers and scientists are Aristotle followers.

I was born and raised in a German town in Pennsylvania. My mind is thus influenced by the German language and German customs. I believe that my mind is organized geometrically. This means that my mind is not organized using Aristotelian categories and logic, which dominate the English language. In school, I thus did not do well in language courses. But, I did well in mathematics and science.

Accordingly, I do not conceive the world’s realities as an Aristotelian mind will. Further, my book, "The First Scientific Proof of God" has been criticized because I use short words and sentences and do not write as some elite Americans write. Certainly, my German and geometrical mind do not fit exactly with the English language. But, my mind, writings, and speeches fit close enough to allow me to be a highly productive person in science throughout my career. In fact, my geometrical mind allowed me to function effectively in both the hard and soft sciences.

If a second language becomes a requirement in high schools, the German language should be that second language. Since the German language seems to be the most powerful language in the world today, the English language must be reformed by removing all Aristotelian categories and logic. Further, the Spanish language should not be elevated in the USA. Instead, the Spanish language must be forced to fade away quickly.
