Ba-bel = In-peira = Empiric = Empiricists

https://www.etymonline.com/word/empiric#etymonline_v_32351

c. 1600, from Latin empiricus (n.) "a physician guided by experience," from Greek empeirikos "experienced," from empeiria "experience; mere experience or practice without knowledge," especially in medicine, from empeiros "experienced (in a thing), proven by use," from assimilated form of en "in" (see en- (2)) + peira "trial, experiment," from PIE *per-ya-, suffixed form of root *per- (3) "to try, risk." Originally a school of ancient physicians who based their practice on experience rather than theory. Earlier as a noun (1540s) in reference to the sect, and earliest (1520s) in a sense "quack doctor" which was in frequent use 16c.-19c.

In the hyper-empirical (autistic) world view, a person is seen as just a "collection of atoms" and since it is not improper to use, abuse, or manipulate atoms to one's own ends it is, therefore, not thought improper to use, abuse, or manipulate people to one's own ends.

On the face of it, this almost seems reasonable. After all, we are indeed made entirely of atoms (or some other units that can be modeled mathematically). It fails, however, to take into account the emergent phenomena that make a human being so much more than "just atoms". Atoms don't have thoughts, feelings, hopes, dreams, or aspirations but people do. Clearly, being "made of" something (for example atoms) is not the same thing as "being" something.

Sometimes hyper-empirical people will avoid the phrase "humans are just atoms" and will opt instead for "humans are just animals". Both phrases express the same underlying idea.

Hyper-empirical people do not think in terms of good vs bad or right vs wrong. They think in terms of great vs not great. Hence "great Babel"

City of Babel = El-Arish just outside of Rhinocorura.

Rhinocorura, a desert location on the border between Ancient Egypt and the Land of Israel mentioned by Strabo (Geographia XVI, 2, 31-32) and Diodorus Siculus (Historic Library Vol 1, Chap. 60). This appears to be the original usage of the name, which means "cut-off noses" in Greek. Diodorus relates that it was founded by the Ethiopian king Actisanes as a place of exile for those found guilty of robbery whom he punished by cutting off their noses. Strabo's version of the story claims that it was settled by Ethiopians who had attempted to invade Egypt and were subsequently punished by having their noses cut off. It may be identical with the Egyptian border fortress Tjaru, to which officials, who had committed crimes, were banished after having their noses cut off.

I love etymology. But I'm more interested in insects. I'm N-pirical.

therefore hath [one] called its name Empiria, for there hath Jehovah mingled the pronunciation of all the earth, and from thence hath Jehovah scattered them over the face of all the earth.


I dont understand all of that but it sounds like our universe has a name. Its called 'Empiria'.

Compare emporium, import, Byblos, and Bible

This must be that speaking in tongues we hear about.

Oh, you and your dumb maps are back again.

Have you figured out the difference between Aden and Eden, yet?

And aren't the 'headlands' meant to be the source, or 'head' of a river? So why do you have them all drawn around the same river? The bible says there are four rivers. And what is with your obsession with putting random biblical characters at random places in the Red Sea?

The source you link to suggests that 'empirical' is unrelated to 'empire,' as one derives from the word meaning 'to try' and the other from the word 'to command.' There's more to etymology than claiming all words that sound similar are related.

And how do you get from 'Babel' to 'Empire' is beyond me. As always, you seem to be making things up.

I never once mentioned the word empire. You seem to be the one making things up
