CHAPTER

Why Do We Need to Be Concerned With Language?

Why not embrace virtual reality better than life reality? Why not have direct access to that? We can dispense with language. It seems that we could add whatever fetish you want because every minor fetish could be given over to ourselves, and then we could be unified in this perverse, collective algaritmic unconscious. I mean, it's not just ete one universal language. There are languages which you could say would resist this kind of this er, this invasion by people like ellen moscomy. Maybe there is a structuren structural part of concrete languages which might offer a way to to to resist in some way. So i'll leave it there, suppose. Thanks very much.
