Most Significant Psychodymanic Factor of an Oral Culture

The immediate power of a word, then its immediate demise is the most significant psychodynamic factor of oral culture. In an oral culture the word is communication in totality. With every meaning being spoken, and without a format of recording to archive what is said, once the statement has been made it is dichotomously forever present in memory and forever inaccessible. The word in a moment appears then disappears from the realm of consciousness. It is not disputable because there is no record. This fleeting existence of a sound that was communication limits the boundaries of human capabilities. One cannot build off an idea from a foreign land in an oral culture because the foreign land is inaccessible. There is not a medium to discuss or analyze what was said because there is not a medium to review what had been said. Without this the propagation of understanding is limited to very shallow topics. There is no way to study a philosophy or theory without writing. Without writing the high-minded disappears.
