Or that a bunch of lit pixels on the screen is. Nice strawman. The pixels form a full complete picture. Beeps are just beeps. And speech is just noise if you don't understand it. One dimensional. That they form a recognizable pattern does not make them more. Humans are highly visual creatures. Which is why it was said, for many centuries, I suppose, that it's speech that separates us from the animals. (We're a lot less visually oriented than a lot of other species.) I have listened to code for years. Being able to make out a few letters does nothing for me. I have listened to Turkish for years. Being able to make out a few words does nothing for me. But there are a lot of Turks who feel otherwise. Your insularity is showing. |
