“The primary opening of the human to the world is not logical but musical” I have only started but I love that opening.

This made me think about how animals, like my chickens, sing all day well they graze, a song that communicates their well being to the group. When one sees a predator they change how they sing, which effectively changes the song of the group, signaling tension and the group to take defensive action. Language probably has grown from this kind of activity. Great pod cast thanks for sharing!
