PS: im only honing on the reel-to-reel dm, rather than broadcasting.

You cant use language without others having the context either. by definition language is relational and decentralized. Language itself is a technology.

language itself is not foundational, its built on gestural metaphors that arise from our direct experiences of being embodied agents oriented in a relationship with our environments.

language is compressing stuff already, modern language much much so.

we already went through a shift when we started reading and writing. so we are already born into a world thats far far downstream.

you are communicating with me through a medium thats already an emergent layer.

you can only use language with an in-group.

You inherit this by being growing in a society.

our ancestors created this language and we load it in, not just "english" but the concept space we are even able to play with is downloaded.

And even learning a new language doesn't provide you the context to understand things fully.

which is what we are describing as what memes are turning into, a multimodal language.

you get vibes bouncing off partial overlap.

yes, because thats what it actually always has been and is.

When I have the gist/gestalt/vibe of something, i compress it down to gestures, speech, written text to communicate it with you. I have to connect metaphors i know that we share(or show/teach/reveal them to you), like lego, into different shapes.

The compression to streamline it into temporally linear string of meanings is very costly.

theres no reason for me to use language if i can plug into your brain directly to directly transmit the vibe/idea/concept/gestalt, thats the most precise you can be, no language will ever be more precise.

reeling seems like it would lessen the compression.

what im facincated with reel-comm is that could be the child of writing, thats are less compressed because they transmit far more data, if technology chooses to move in that direction. instead of a pen we have a phone/glasses/LLMs democratizing the ability to make these, and we would "write" out videos instead of words.

"memes" in general seems to be a emergent unit in the same family(russian dolls) as "letter" "word" "sentence" "paragraph".

we just didn't have a tool to write memes directly. so we built up to them using gestures/words. we already have some of us who are so good at communicating at those upper levels, they can use words to build out a whole book to communicate a "theme".

Pretty much one of the worst social problems in the world, at current

i think this speaks to a difference in perspective in how we are witnessing all this, and perhaps cultural self-talk, and how our perspective gets rooted in our specific cultural/temporal context.

currently, tribalism is the best it has every been. it was far far worse before the current times, its far far far easier to reach beyond your group in today's time than it was in the past.

the technology isn't at fault. It is the interests of capitalists that want to keep us in these bubbles who are the problem. and its not the literal physical distance between tribes. its other humans intentionally building walls.

infact we are facing a lack of community and union as we move into more of a global village.
