The Prestige
The new poetry
Is composed in emoji
Speak,
Initiating a shift
Upon an oscillation
Continuum
From a valley to a
Peak
Giving a peek into
The mind
As
Revolver – However
Alongside
Every furor
In popular
Culture
Is
A counterculture
Counter
To
That culture
&
This culture
Is
Cultivated
&
Cultured
Via a language of thought form
Structured
In
Forms of
Thought.

Was thinking of "prestige languages".
... And how languages continuously evolve,
English being a very interesting example,
resulting from diasporas of diversified peoples.
During that time...
Latin, the language of the priest class (following the fall of The Roman Empire),
was considered the prestige language,
which was the tongue associated with learning and religion.
I was just thinking about the modern age...
Which some regard as practically illiterate.
I do not agree with this assertion.
In the book "Everyday is a Poem", Jacqueline Suskin
very cleverly observes that emojis can be poetic.
And I agree with this.
For example, in the time when Old English
was evolving into modern English, and Latin was the
language of the elites, English was the language of commerce...
And...
Consider the rise of the merchant class into the new Elites...
So...
People say the "emoji speakers" will never achieve much...
Oh...
They will certainly inherit the largest transfer of
wealth in human history.
And I believe, just like the merchant class,
will rise to a place of "newly minted Elites"...
I am speaking rather figuratively, as my
conception of Elite is far different than most.
but yes... Not to say "emoji" will be an elite language,
although... who can really say.
either way, perhaps will be undoubtedly
a variation or at least an extension of these things.
or maybe is already this...
I do "emoji speak" because when in Rome, right.
But even family members and other surprised me by doing thus.
But what I think also,
is that like with hieroglyphics...
The mind was more inclined to think in
expansive, outside the box manners.
A binary based language has limitations
that a symbol based language perhaps does not.
I think this symbol based language
is conducive to giving rise to a more thought based language
Which in turn gives rise to new forms of art,
in every medium.
It's like...
I was watching this documentary on the Deftones
and how they evolved in their art form...
On the album "Diamond eyes" they turned
an image based lyrical style V story baed, which Chino Moreno
said was influenced by The Cure and a few other sources...
I have always sought to evolve...
Always.
And there are many considerations in this regard.
and inspiration comes from... Everywhere.

"The new poetry Is composed in emoji"
That is just a great line.
Enjoyed the rest of it as well.

I’d say my fav part of this was your analysis. I’m fascinated by language and how it’s development in the human brain coincides with thought and memory. I especially appreciated the comparison of emojis with hieroglyphs. It seems to me the ideal language would include options for pictographs, sign language, symbols and a vast range of phonetics…it would be fascinating if eventually we could better harness and control more & more of our non-verbal communication cues to consciously incorporate into language as well. Thanks for the thought-provoking read! ☺️
(I’m pretty slow at picking up languages so am merely a beginner at emoji-speak. 😝)

You make some thought provoking points, Rubyredheart.
I very much appreciate your
depth of thinking...
Curious to know what your
feelings on the potential of a "telepathic" language are?

Telepathic language is a fascinating concept. I would be interested in learning what current scientific knowledge could be developed in that direction. Living things certainly communicate through chemical interactions such as pheromones (I'm reminded of an article I once read about trees communicating chemically regarding dangerous insects…) but I’m not sure that could be considered telepathic… I imagine that eventually technology could progress to assist in telepathic communication, too. What are your thoughts on it, Cipher?
Not quite related to telepathic communication but more the general idea of language/communication: when FB changed name to meta I was intrigued by some of the goals Zuckerberg discussed. I envision it not being too far off when the ability to socially interact via VR avatars is realized. How would that change communication?
