128. Mythris on Language
8 months ago
My friend Mythris is a philosopher. He is currently working on his phd in philosophy.
I find the history of language fascinating!
I asked him about the possible existence of a forgotten language source; a language ingrained in the human collective unconscious.
This was his response. There are some references to an earlier conversation hence the Robot/monkey talk.
I filmed this on the upload date during a rainy night in BC Canada with my trusty Canon G7

Wouldn't the master language - that is, the language that everyone intuitively speaks, and that other languages stem from - be body language (including facial expressions). This is something that no matter where you're from or what language you speak, everyone understands (to an extent). Even monkeys understand and use it, and a few have even been taught sign language as an extension of it. Granted it's not a spoken language, but it's something like 93% of our day to day communication is non-verbal.
I think you can include tone of voice into it as well. Tone of voice in it's self is quite a powerful language, one which even dogs seem to understand. You can call a dog absolutely anything, so long as you use the right tone of voice.
It's all pretty fascinating (to me at least).
When I see primates I'm fascinated by the sheer economy and clarity of their communication, most if not all is purely in looks. Vocallity would seem to arise from needing to warn and protect, virtualy all other communication is non verbal.
It would be interesting to see other 2-3min monologues by intellectuals on their topics of interest. this would be an exciting project.
