If the internet somehow went down completely… would people handpaint greentext on cave walls? Will we send paper airplane soyjaks from tribe to tribe? There’s something here about pattern matching, pavlovian conditioning, the structure of communication… for some reason I want to associate it with the “presentation” of a meal?

The way you know a plate of fine dining would be small and savory, consumed carefully and thoughtfully… but if you see a basket with big red and white checkered paper, you think it’s about to be a delicious heart attack that you know you’ll eat way too fast?

Anyway, thanks for coming to my pointless TED ramble
