I suppose that's technically true, yes. I think the term 'permanent settlement' would have been more appropriate on my part. None of those prior, if memory serves.

probably out of context but if you ask me its gotta be verbal communication and then written language.
But in a perfect world, everyone would know the greatest scientific development to be Ayahuasca.
