Vae Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 4 minutes ago, Saxon said: I am not sure that the advent of language progressed this way. Overall I don't think that language, in its most primitive form, was invented by anybody. As a matter of interest, the answer to your subsequent question is known; the earliest written languages were pictographic and the words the pictures were associated with were used to denote the symbol.For example one would say 'Idea', with a drawing of an eye and a deer. This is known as 'syllable based logography'. An example of such a language is cuneiform, which began with little drawings that weren't really writing at all, but gradually evolved into a highly abstracted written language and then was eventually replaced with an alphabet. I'm aware that there's a more complex process behind it. I was not making assumptions or claims that we just wrote an A on a piece of paper one day, and went "That makes the 'ah' sound!" But things did eventually lead in that direction, regardless of their origins. And we did, at some point, have to associate some form of symbolism with sounds and concepts, for language to even start beyond basic, noticeable physical expression, like an animal baring its teeth, or screaming to frighten something off. In any case, I wasn't really aiming to write an essay on specifics, since brevity seems contextually appropriate in a thread about (random) shower thoughts, where I'm speaking amongst such statements like "I have to poop" and "69 looks like a sex position." So yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlynnCoyote Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 We are shaped by our experience and our experience becomes memories. Our memories define our wisdom and our personalities. As we grow, these naturally change. Likewise, memories too become obscured and forgotten, yet their imprint lingers in a way. New experience forces us to adjust, our memories are consistently updated which affects our personalities and over the course of years our flesh is gradually entirely replaced. I am not the same person I used to be. That boy in all my childhood photos is dead, and I'm just living my life with his name. In time I too will be gone, replaced by another version of this individual who will look back on me with emotions I can only hope will be positive. Yet I fear otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyOwlTheFictionCritic Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 If the infinite universe theory is real, then does that mean I got with Asgore in one? Wait, by that logic, that means that there's one where the same happened with Toriel. One with Undyne as well, and even more for the rest of the cast. Wait, where am I going with this? How did I get to this point in the first place, I started off with whether waking up next to somebody with fur would be wonderful or if it would be too hot... Christ, I'm lonely.
