Whichever one is the woman.

OP here. Nevermind, the linguistic expert BTFOd the physicist literally 30 seconds later. Shouldn't have paused right away.

Well, off the top of my head, the ability to pass down knowledge is the most important thing. Science without the means to convey it is useless. It can't be corrected or built upon.

>>8994897
how?

>>8994897
How? You can't do science without language?

>>8995053
Good luck building anything other than the most primitive things using grunts and gesticulations without any conventional understanding.

The physicist says that he can't wait to unite with the aliens, share knowledge, etc., the linguistic expert then BTFOs him by saying "Well, we have to learn how to speak to them first."

The physicist knew he was BTFOd right away and he just smiled

Says the guy watching some hollyjew plebeian movie with amy adams.

They're both wrong.

Groups of people are the cornerstone of civilization.

>>8995498
This.

Both statements are retarded. Many uncivilized, barbaric, and nomadic societies existed for thousands of years before the advent of civilizations. A more fair statement would be to say that language is a cornerstone of humans, after all we have a mouth capable of making sounds, might as well fucking use it.
Science wasn't even invented until 500 years ago, so the second statement is even dumber

How many times have you cut someone with that edge.


Except for the part where you discredited the Greeks who had 'scienced' for half a millenium B.C.E., I agree with you.
