Independent Researcher, Lugansk, Lugansk People’s Republic
The article addresses the problem of the absence of a common language in international communication. Using the example of the UN Security Council session of March 2, 2026, dedicated to children in armed conflicts, it analyzes a paradox: all participants speak about the same values but do not hear one another. As a solution, the Philosophical Matrix is proposed—a system of maximally general comparative concepts (the identical, the different, the correlative, the opposite, the orthogonal) that explicates a universal language of thinking, which the author calls the “language of Elohim”. The cultural-historical roots of this language are traced in the first chapter of Genesis, in Heraclitus, in Laozi, and in the Sefer Yetzirah. An analysis of the March 2 speeches allows us to diagnose at which levels of thinking (reason, practical mind, pure mind, wisdom) today’s educators and politicians operate. The conclusion proposes the “Wise School” project as a practical path for returning to the “language of Elohim” through education starting from early childhood.
