The Dyslexicon
from brownian music · host Brown Miller
When language becomes so splintered and modified by so many different subcultures, meaning becomes meaningless, and clear communication is only possible between members of the same tribe or sect. The advent of emojis and increasingly visual modes of online communication makes for an ever more subjective interpretation of messages. Today's readers are spoiled with tools to frame the content they consume in a context that is palatable to them, without seeing the true meaning, cause, or consequence.
