ruina (npub1d2n…n2yu) It's more than vocabulary though. It's perceived motive as well. When you hear someone talk, the signal is always attenuated by what you think they mean, or why you think they're saying it. It's not even that I assume people think I'm always lying, it's just natural that you won't interpret the same sentence from one person the same way you do from another and something is lost because of that. I used to think anonymous communication was the closest you could get to a "pure communication" for this reason but the problem with that is then you can never communicate purely with people you actually care about because the knowing has already put noise in the channel. But then it's awfully presumptuous to footnote everything you say with a list of exceptions - i.e what you don't mean. It just introduces even more noise than before.
