Imagine you’re a musician, and you want to build music out of sine waves in a way you can completely understand. You work and work and work, and eventually create this. You feel proud of yourself!
Until someone down the street, who started out by having fun with human voice in all its happy complexity, comes up with this. The contrast is staggering. Suddenly the thing you were doing feels barely like music at all.
I think all people, including those who say they desire “clean” communication, actually can’t live without at least some “rich” communication. It’s an essential nutrient. You either stay forever unsatisfied on that level, or you learn to find the fun in it. Might as well start sooner.
