Disclaimer: take everything I say with a pinch of salt and form your own ideas. Philosophy is about the journey, not the destination. With regards to danger this 5 minute video [1] by Stephen Fry conveys a powerful idea. I think all of Western Philosophy in the last 120 or so years has concerned itself with the "linguistic turn" [2]. If you follow the breadcrumbs from Wittgenstein, Frege, Russell, Dumett, Chomsky, Quine etc. at a high-level you may begin to observe a common thread, patterns and concepts between Logic and Language which have been crystalized in Programming Language Theory [3]. At the risk of being a little too radical (with some intent of shock value) my view is that Truth is constructed not discovered [4]. This is also an argument Richard Rorty makes in "Contingency, Irony and Solidarity" [5]. Ultimately, language is a tool [6]. The responsible use of any tool (be it language or a gun) is a moral concern and an individual responsibility. For unpacking the question "What is communication?" there's no better starting point than Shannon's "The Mathematical theory of Communication" [7] [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohrtFuxUzZE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohrtFuxUzZE [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_turn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_turn [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language_theory [4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructivist_epistemology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructivist_epistemology [5] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contingency,_Irony,_and_Solidarity#Part_I:_Contingency https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contingency,_Irony,_and_Solida...
