I recently watched a #Arte documentary exploring whether all humans once shared a single ancestral #language. I decided to recap its key points as a follow-up to my series on the origins of languages and #WritingSystems from last year:

Censorship and the Power of Language: Adapting, Not Constraining

In a recent video from CerosTV, the issue of censorship and its impact on the way we communicate was discussed. Ceros expressed concerns over how banning words and phrases limits our ability to effectively convey ideas, suggesting that the growing prevalence of censorship is fundamentally altering the way we speak. While I don’t disagree with the sentiment that censorship is problematic, I believe the argument that censorship is ruining the way we speak may be overstated. In fact, I would […]

The Dumbest Meme Alive: Why “6–7” Perfectly Sums Up the Decay of Internet Culture

If there was ever a sign that the internet had officially eaten itself, it’s “6–7.” The so-called meme phrase, born from a forgettable rap lyric and somehow inflated into a cultural touchstone, represents everything wrong with the modern state of online culture. It’s not clever, not funny, not even coherent. It’s just noise—empty repetition masquerading as entertainment, proof that virality no longer depends on meaning or creativity but on sheer algorithmic force and social […]

Did Lead Limit Brain and Language Development in Neanderthals and Other Extinct Hominids?

A new study suggests that exposure to lead may have limited brain and language development in Neanderthals, but a gene mutation may have protected modern human brains.
