As the Word develops in the mouths of newborns, frameworks of thought are established inlanguage and culture. They influence how we perceive the world, and how we internally represent it.
Looking beyond the web of words, Nemu explores savant skills emerging in autism and trans-cranialmagnetic stimulation, the wit in the tics of Tourette’s and the super-strength of people in life-threateningsituations. Synaesthesia and other extraordinary experiences are described in the Bible, alongside astash of psychoactive agents and instructions on how to use them. What can the characters and techniquesof this ancient legend reveal about managing our compulsions, aspirations and inspirations, the gods atwork in our heads?
