The invention of language helped us to communicate effectively. Ironically, language is also a barrier to effective communication. The sender constantly translates thoughts to words. The receiver constantly translates those words to thoughts to form meaning. This exchange occurs in a noisy context that includes varying degrees of biases, agendas, personalities, perspectives, moods, competing priorities and distractions.
But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.
George Orwell
Communication will be most effective in a future where technology will enable exchange of thoughts without the use of language. When the need to master different aspects of communication from semantics, storytelling, body language, micro expressions, tonality will disappear, it will be the purest form of communication. Perhaps Neuralink or it’s future competitor will enable this language-less future.
