Language in the 22nd Century

>selfish generation begin to connect with one another the concepts and language they wish to communicate become more essential, more intimate.

If our descriptions shrink it will only be because our attention span shrinks.

Diction is for accuracy in conveying a certain feeling and experience. Patient readers know that a drawn-out description is probably necessary to describe a very particular experience that would simply be impossible in only a few short phrases.

I think you're correct in that authors may easily be able to refer to a specific feeling if it is prominent in a culture, but there is a limit to what building blocks we already possess.

If you're talking more on an abstract scale, I think music is already our most minimal medium for drawing a sentiment. Though even in that department we continue to limit the medium with our ever-shrinking attention span.

from an evolutionary standpoint, you cannot communicate with a reader if they haven't already experienced what it is that is being communicated. Then whats the point? A writer putting finger puppets on your soul and enacting a punch and Judy, for what reason other than to converse the souls. When reading, a feeling is not created or imagined; it is simply remembered, and the reader makes a connect.

A writer could describe an abstract dream place by building blocks of language, using common objects or shapes; say, 4 cubes stand each 2 meters by another emanating moons, the lining of the outer cube is blinding chrome and the moons are a pale green.

And you could imagine 4 cubes, with chrome frames and 4 green moons. But what's the point unless it mean anything unless the reader becomes those 4 moons or knows the meaning of a moon in relation to them. Unless they know intrinsically the significance of 4 moons.

There is a universal language that is spoken by some but heard by little.

You say patience, who has patience anymore? Humanity longs to kill patience; all creations are to appease the single moment. Nobody invents slower ways of doing things.

I say, in the future they won't be dreaming in books but living in books! Yes, the book become like as if a drug, but not with these words of the world.

Music is a perfect example! People don't want a concertio, they want to connect, and they don't connect by appreciating Mozart but by unifying - all communication is to unify. We argue ultimately not because we want to be right but because we want to to come together. The selfish one does not realize that though because they are selfish.

The word draws ribbons in the soul, yes, but there is one soul, and one true word. And the word of the soul cannot be the word of the world, for here is consistent death!
