Communication

[jason]

Communication is the essence of humanity. We strive on linking our thoughts and emotions to another person through commication. Humanity has two core communication methods, verbal and body language. The verbal aspect is abstracted to include sign language and such

duh.

but on the bright side, if we did not have mis-communications, we would quickly run out new things to say. we're really quite simple creatures, im ashamed to say.

speaking of mis-communication, guess how I happened on your journal ;) bloody fingers.

you've restated the primary existential crisis that philosophers have been agonizing over for the last 150 years -- that everyone is necessarily and inescapably totally isolated from everyone else because there's no way anyone can ever adequately convey meaning from one mind to another mind. any thought will always be horribly distorted as it makes its way through one person's expressive filter, out into the world, and in through another individual's filter.

the issue goes far beyond "miscommunication" and into total isolation. most philosophers believe that the only way we escape this wretched isolation is to trick ourselves into believing that families, societies, friends, etc. share common ways of viewing and describing the world around us; but we're really just fooling ourselves to ignore the fact that we'll never understand each other and we'll always be totally alone.
