Language is organizational. Organization can be viewed as having formal structure and as being rules-based. All civilized languages have the same particular kind of rules-based formal structure. It is"Shaman." The earliest shamanism established it. As soon as our ancestors had developed fluent language ability, shamanism took over. Shaman immediately defined our own existence and all existence symbolically. As a result we make clinical objects of our own human animal existence in personal identification with symbolic meaning matrices. We act like we are not human, but machine. ...

Shaman carries languages as chickens carry eggs, as modernism carries traditionalism, and as post-modernism is now starting to carry modernism. It is in this kind of driving bootstrapping that Shaman is thrusting humanity straight into Technological Singularity and human extinction. The eggs in its basket are pure technology and machine.

Even when we describe this objective-symbolic world in the most human, humane or humanistic terms, it is still completely subject to absolutes outside ourselves, and because it is not human-subjective, it is completely human-destructive. In context of Shaman "reality" we inevitable reduce our self-perception to a negligible fraction of the 100% indefinable wholeness of all existence. Once we realize this, we would prioritize the wholeness or singularity of human existence to be the only basis of self-identification. This would save the human species. As the only subject or principle in the subject-object virtual world of symbolic meaning, we would for the very first time adopt a language organizing principle that is human and absolutely mindful of all human existence. We could call such a human rules-based language principle, "Human."

• Fluent language evolved in our ancestors more than 10⁵ years ago.
• Since then we have had only one language metaphysics: Shaman.
• Shaman spawns Technology: euphemistically called "tools/progress/knowledge."
• Shaman and Technology are now driving humanity into species extinction.
• The final straw is that humanity is gradually accepting Transhumanism.
• Transhumanism is human species extinction in technological singularity.
• There is a certain, peaceful and automated way to stop technological singularity.
• The clear way out of our current mess is to change our language metaphysics.
• Stop speaking languages of Shaman and adopt Human as linguistic metaphysic.
