I am coming to realize more and more that when it`s for something that really counts, the best method of communication is the oldest.
that’s true Esn, but nobody uses cave paintings anymore.
I think this is now called ‘friendzone.’
Cave paintings are not that old, mark, just about 40,000 years. Long after humans became anatomically modern and developed spoken language.
When it comes down to it, visual art can be very ineffective as a communication mechanism: http://www.viruscomix.com/page537.html
Ain’t technology great? Every year it gets easier to ignore people.
I believe Esn was referring to communication at its most basic, tossing a rock at someone.
@Esn. Thx for the virus.
I think ESN means pheromones; bacteria use them, after all, they are demonstrably the oldest form of communication (contrast communication with combat or sex as other interaction modes).
We can be sure ESN is hard to ignore…
Well, BenK, yes: I know from personal experience that body odour is certainly very effective, although its vocabulary is a bit limited. :)
I assumed esn meant sex.
