Experiment/Game

The office was great.

I would guess text format, video being much more data to send. If we become multi-planetary especially so.

We often talk of the weather face to face. Anything serious often text
I'd imagine by then everyone would have a digital twin, you send a voice/text/thought, your digital twin will deliver in video format. Not the most energy efficient but that is not on top of our priority list yet.
 
For me this is the other way around. But I grew up when the internet was called ARPAnet.

I too remember when the internet was invented rkba! It does seem now that most humans prefer text for long or difficult communications.

Most people seem to prefer a text message to a phone call

Climate change aside, since when was the weather not serious? 🤓
Am I the only one counting? Some of y'all went over 35.. tsk. tsk. LOL
I'm on it from my side and have been remaining on the strait and narrow 35 max. I even count emojis!
In a world where that could occur, I would imagine it to be a peaceful world.
Maybe without shops?
 
It reminds me of Wittgenstein's language games, concepts follow rules, yet interpretation shapes their use.
Even applying rules is subjective.
Still, it works, and the process can be enjoyable, strict or not.

In what way is counting to thirty five subjective?

I'm not really up to speed on philosophers.
 
From a philosophy of language perspective, the question of whether emojis count as a "word" is quite interesting.
Even if one were to classify an emoji as a word, it could still convey far more than a single word's worth of meaning.
Yet, the meanings themselves cannot be counted in the same way, even though the emoji itself can be quantified.

From a definitional standpoint, one could argue that a word is fundamentally different from an emoji.

But as already observed earlier in this thread, even long messages can be split across several smaller ones.
Or quoted messages can be included or excluded, depending on interpretation.

But at the end of the day, it serves a purpose.
The purpose I personally see here is that limiting the number of words sparks interest.
And when curiosity is sparked, requesting more information allows for a flow to emerge.
A flow that might lead into a larger body of water.
And from that body of water, new branches and directions may unfold.

What’s fascinating is that the rules themselves create a kind of game.
This game follows rules, but each person may carry their own understanding of those rules.
One could even say the game itself regulates its own rule making process.

At least this isn't fight club!

Do you work in advertising? The bit about raising interest set me thinking that way.
 
Can those who understand the rules also bypass or break them without actually breaking or bypassing them?

Maybe we can by speaking German, or some other language where one can clump words together into monstrous agglomerations. Are we obliged to speak in proper sentences? Can we post 12-hour-long videos?
