How communication fails us
Communication is taking shared understanding, interpreting it incorrectly through the logos by the speaker and saying words. Then the receiver misinterprets the misinterpretation communicated by words also through the logos, and tries to clarify the thinking to get closer to the shared understanding both beings already had by the same flawed process.

This is a philosophical model between two abstract agents and not a neuroscience model between two Homo Sapiens.
In reality work’s different for humans.
Your amygdala decides what you think based on survival instincts (agreeing with your tribe) and then your prefrontal cortex invents reasons for the decision.
In tribe, humans instinctively clamour to discover shared understanding and then fight to cling to it.
Outwith tribe, amygdala makes fight/flight decision based on dominance instinct, which PFC implements as fight=construct reasons stranger is idiot, flight=ignore strangers understanding.
Humans are weird, but once you read about the neuroscience of behaviour you start to see people very differently and actually in a much more forgiving manner when it comes to non-hostile disagreements.
Biological and neurological processing is but one of the filters that communication needs to be distorted by in order to get to be tramsmitted.
