  • Damn good point. But, we’re taking about purely linguistic communication.

    When you read a word, the meaning associated with it comes from you. Yes there is meaning in the arrangement of the words, but the meaning of the words, from which, oh…98% of the meaning of a text is derived, comes from YOU.

    So that’s like 98% you talking to your own echo.

    So that’s quite different from more IRL type communication (where you have all this other nonsymbolic context and stuff)

    That’s all I’ve got offhand.

    And when you’ve got a million people doing that echo-talking, well, what’s that?
