Brittany Spears - Hit Me Baby One More Time.mp3
To paraphrase the overused 'ol Sapir-Whorf, if all you think about is information that can be best represented as text, all your examples will be ones text wins at.
- awesome_dude 10mo agoNot sure, text wins hands down at sharing the ideas of one person, with many, across space and time. I can read the thoughts of a philosopher who lived on literally the other side of the world, several thousand years ago. I'm unsure of, but would love to know, any other medium capable of that
- dwattttt 10mo agoAnd what of histories great artists? You can take a walk through a gallery and see many things people wanted to express, reading the artists textual description of it won't invoke the same ideas in you.
- awesome_dude 10mo agoYou're right, and they do say a painting is worth a thousand words My only counter would be - when you and I look at them do we get the same words (but I suppose you could also argue that for a book, poem, etc)
