Mostly agree. However, in 1000 years, they would have a difficult time understanding anything we were saying. Cars could easily be called cows. Language changes over time, but needs to be maintained in the short term to have the ability to effectively communicate.
This book is an excellent read on the topic - The Power of Babel
Generic Costco 😁.
Not to get to far of into the weeds, but as a 30 something, I realized that my dad had some underlying force that drove his personality, even when he was older. I started to try to put together his childhood with these traits. Long story short, I could see that a number of traumatic events were the root. That intrigued me.
I have mentioned this in the past, but the Dug show is interesting to me not only on a mechanical level, but a psychological one. Dug is super fucked up. Not just a normal fucked up but a special kind of fucked up. But why? Watching and listening reveal pieces of the puzzle.
I'm reading a book now called The Body Keeps Score. It's a very interesting look at how the shit that happens to people from birth on fucks up their lives in ways they did not ever realize.
Meh, whatever. Welcome to Costco, I love you...
