re "words built the pyramids" ...it follows that words are as dynamic and concrete as bricks in altering the make up of the future. Right?

Can a brick be "dynamic", Amemeba?

A brick, like a word, is only as "dynamic" as the mind which wields it.

Words didn't build the pyramids or send mankind to the moon, Amemeba. Ideas did that.

A brick separated from an idea is just a dead weight. Ditto a word.
