when did language get so complicated? did a word ever just mean a word? was it always layered in subtext, context? was it always peppered with riddle?
maybe what happened is several hundred or thousand years ago, we really peaked and understood our words so well that we had to add all the neurosis and innuendo just to keep it stimulating.
perhaps we are on the evolutionary cusp of speaking telepathically. and so as a transition, we do so much thinking about words and infuse so many conscious and subconscious layers into them, just so our brains and all our psychic intuitive bits are already engaged. warming up.
perhaps.
but i'm actually pretty sure it was always complicated, this interaction business.
