It makes you think

Assuming my supposition that only 1% of the written word is actually being correctly communicated, consider expanding that. The tip of the pen as the tip of an iceberg. A pyramid balanced on its point. What if I could say exactly what I meant? What if through tone, cadence, expression and body positioning I could achieve 100% of my desired communication? Now consider the notion that humans only use about 10% of their cognitive capacity. If you could expand that what would become of the message? Could an idea come to life? Spreading, infecting mutating across the collective unconscious until it has become so ubiquitous that it is accepted as truth without a second thought. What if that had already happened. What if all we know, all we think we know and know we can't know is the result of an idea that became too large and too powerful? An idea as the impetus to the universe. The big bang as an epiphany. Life as a watershed moment. Thinking minds as thought. Creativity as an avenue to attain that pure moment of realization. An idea spawning new ideas, desperately searching for the one that is itself. What if we discover that idea? It makes you think, doesn't it...
