Not pretending/perceiving that the memetic/reductive/imprecise/misinformative/incorrect way we describe them is accurate would be a good start.
Human communication in 2022 is a train wreck, and there are plentiful artifacts of that in this very thread, in this much more intelligent than average community.
- xwdv 4y agoIt seems to me that Human communication declines the more it becomes divorced from the threat of physical violence. The peak decline will be when the possibility of consequences (social, physical, legal, financial…) for communicating anything reaches absolute zero. Human communication is a great tool but must be kept in check, the goal of communication is to produce useful outcomes, not merely deliver messages and opinions.
