Is the written word a degeneration of the oral? Is the oral superior to the written?

[Anonymous No.13530121]

I wish languages never existed at all. fuck them all.

[Anonymous No.13530135]

No, the fact that writing even exists shows that there was a fundamental lack or deficiency in oral communication that writing was invented to fulfill

Written word seems to convey more meaning and has more rigid rules, whereas oral communication seems much more relaxed and oriented to the speaker. I think oral communication leaves more room for creativity but written communication does not.

This very old. Burroughs wrote an essay on it with the phrase "language is a virus" which has been a meme of the past three quarters of a century, and it wasn't necessarily original when he wrote it. Google the phrase, and read moar.
Unironically based and redpilled.

Language is the virus that infected primates and gave birth to civilisation. We are not the hardware we are the software and we should delete the sys32 folder in our own minds ASAP.

Super retarded post. Oral communication includes facial and emotional queues that aren’t present in text, reading is like intentionally living life as an autist.

Folks might enjoy this blog series (Yuppie but worthwhile) and the framework of "soft technologies" for thinking about the similar changes happening in our century:

Where does this end? All things can be interpreted as lacking - should we culminate in some kind of gestalt consciousness?

>let me talk a bunch of garbage on language within language

also writing exists because sumerians couldn't remember how many fucking sheep and shit they had, not some sort of deficiency in communication but reliable memory and record keeping

Language is the immanentization of form. Pythagoreanism is actually a kind of either devaluing or elucidation of Primally old shamanic wisdom expressed fractally in almost cargo cult like fashion (compared to its unbroken form) in ancient Egyptian and ANE cultures and cosmologies etc.

Thus it follows that Platonism is a degenerate and secular form of pythagorianism and neoplatonism is a partial affirmation if not return toward the reconciliation of the profoundly illogical aspects of "philosophy". The commentary tradition of neo pythagorean, middle platonist and of the "commentators" are contrary to popular belief, not banal rote missives rather invocations of punctuated equilibrium born of repitition. This repitition guarantees to prove unequivocally that univocal agreement is practically impossible.

There is an inherent geography and corporeality to language, at it's limits (this limit is paradox/Demi-god) and when these limits are stroked and fluffed into affirmed arousal they become paradoxes which in turn become vaginas which are liminal zones, thresholds and portals in the mind of the human.

You can't remove mental abstractions unfortunately.

Unless you go full on insane to escape the tiranny of language and intelligence

Sounds like writing was invented to fulfill a deficiency. Hmmmm

No, according to the laws of rhetoric, oral communication is limited in its ability to persuade/convey complex ideas compared to written communication.

Remember that communication is only as effective as its ability to exist retained in the memory of it's audience.
