Who is us?
Us is inventive! Us is! It starts when us're little and us get caught doing something us're not supposed to do. Maybe it starts earlier than that. Us get here without a language and invent how to communicate with those pesky, irritating grownups us need for everything. What a prodigious feat! And every one of us did it! Did it so well us take it for granted by the time us're three or thereabouts! Us invented the inclined plane, the spinning top, hammers, levers, the wheel! Us figured out how to recreate fire, and mostly how to control the fires us set. Us invented dances! Us invented swords and armor, the bow and arrow, the javelin, the lance. Fireworks! Oh my goodness! Us invented the plow, and the dam, and irrigation canals!. Us invented boats and ships. Us figured out a compass - either meaning. Us invented a helicopter! It wasn't nearly as simple as Leonardo thought, but Sikorsky (I think) finally got the details right. Us invented the automobile, the submarine, the airplane! Us invented kings, aristocrats, priests, engineers. Us invented writing and scribes! Us invented geometry. Just that short list prove us is inventive. Us awes us.
