Most of the class today were clearly aware of the Piraha tribe who have no numbers. I was not aware of these till now and the tribe I knew of were the Amondawa who have no concept of time.
Both Amazonian tribes evolved in isolation.
Both very interesting.

This clip above from Rupert Spira sort of parallels our discussion today in class (about Zhuangzi Chapter 2 - Making all things equal) and is why I raised his name with Ken.
It is one way of viewing the this/that and what happens before/after that distinction.
