Inquiry Blog Post Two

My new topic proposal

 

I have decided to make a change in inquiry proposals. My original topic was about the translation of ideas through language and speech. My new proposal involves the power of language and its ability to create reality. In the videos below, author and psychonaut Terence McKenna discusses how language creates reality and how the world is made of language. McKenna was someone I discussed in my original topic. I decided to take his influence to the level of something that he speaks of directly, which are present in the videos and will remain present throughout the rest of this inquiry project.

This is an academic source I used. This link is an article by a professor at a very small great books college in Oregon.

This is an interesting article that discusses how language determines reality. This author does a good job of thoroughly covering this topic.
