Curate, connect, and discover
I am so stressed out because imagine if there is a meteorite planning to destroy our earth in 378 days and for some reason I get voted to go to the North Sentinel Island and communicate with them to warn them but they have no concept of our language, how would I tell them?
I guess I could demonstrate numbers with material, and days with drawings of the sun, but how would I tell them that we might destroy the meteorite in many tiny pieces or maybe not? How do I communicate the concept of maybe?
What a question my guy
Are you...okay?
Communicating any kind of concept with a tribe of people that have no concept of language in the same way we do would be extremely difficult.
Maybe just means that it's not quite yes but not quite no. So I suppose you could use pictures to do that. Yes is one side, No is the other, and Maybe is the middle.
I genuinely don't know this was a thought experiment I was not prepared to have today :')
