Language as technology

If I view language as a technology, a tool then it opens up space for the fluidity of expression.

I can begin to question what it I’m really trying to communicate?

I can reach deep down,?

Strip away all the words,?

Get down to the meat, the immaterialness of it and ask, what is it?

What is the energy?

The meaning?

Then I can begin to think of the medium or type of tool I use?

Do I speak through Yoruba, or Patois, words or dance, writing or singing? sounds or gestures?

Does it need rhythm? eye contact? tactile supplements? binary computation? Or is the lack thereof essential to understanding?

Does it have physical shape that I must show and draw out the shadows of consciousness into paintings, sculptures?

Or is silence, the pause, the emptiness just enough?

Is less more??

Is More less??

or is it simply just what it is?

I’ve heard that our ancestors could communicate almost telepathically and we somehow devolved from that as we began to use words and symbols

Maybe if we start to think more consciously about the essence of what it we are trying to communicate, we can explore more languages and tools?…
