Human experience, communication, and drugs
    #19126370 - 11/12/13 01:29 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I was thinking the other night how humans communicate through language.  To my knowledge, there's not a human language that's ever existed that wasn't based on the five senses in order to relay something to another person that they can understand.  But where this communication falls short is in communicating experiences.  For example if I spent hours telling someone what DMT was like, that person would still have a new, unique experience if they vaped it themselves, because of the limitations of they way we communicate.  Or in communicating how an emotion feels; you don't feel emotions with your five senses so we rely on empathy, but empathy only carries the message so far.  And it makes sense, because our five senses are how we interpret and experience the world, and that's how we can best relate it to someone else that has their own five senses perception of the world.  But it's so limited.

So what is it that links the five senses together into one perception, it's consciousness.  And this is why I do drugs and why they're so appealing to me, especially psychedelics.  The gaps between the five senses, that space of consciousness, the boundaries of what the human experience is; it's all so fascinating to enter a world that no human language can describe.  And we're set up to be curious about that world from childhood in the way that people are so grounded in Newtonian physics and the world being relative only to our five senses all throughout life.

So on a head full of mushrooms the other night I decided that I wanted to come up with a novel way for humans to communicate outside the boundaries of our five senses; to stream consciousness and experience in a way that others can truly understand without empathy.  To come up with a universal language that anyone can understand, and in turn, solve so many of the world's problems.  I tried hard that trip, and I've been mulling it over since then.  But I have run into such a hard brick wall of irony:  I can't find a way to even think or conceive past my own five senses to derive such a communication method.  It sucks.  I need to tune into my consciousness and rout it outwards but I'm stuck there because I don't know how.

Thoughts?

TL;DR human language is too limited for the human experience and there has to be a better way to communicate between ourselves.
