I will not have my freedom of shouting into the void questioned

Lockdowns.

Sadly this.

As long as govts reserve their right to lock us down either in our homes or, worse, in prison, it's impossible to have true freedom of association.

Plus, Schwab little helper said that all conspirancy theorists have to be eliminated.

Who says what are the requisites to be considered conspiracy theorist?

🤔 not the other way around? To first establish what it is we may (or may not) have in common?

To commune and communicate means to have something in common. You need to have a shared language, and a shared reality before that.

Yes, that's a good way to put it. Communication is a two-way street, and it requires a shared understanding of the world. This understanding is built on shared experiences, values, and beliefs. In other words, we need a sense of community in order to communicate effectively.

For example, if you're trying to communicate with someone from a different culture, you'll need to understand their cultural norms and values. You'll also need to be aware of the different ways that they communicate. This can be challenging, but it's essential for effective communication.

Another example is communication within a family. In order to communicate effectively with your family members, you need to have a shared understanding of your family's history, traditions, and values. You also need to be aware of each other's individual personalities and communication styles.

In short, community is a prerequisite for communication because it provides the foundation for shared understanding. Without a sense of community, communication can be difficult, inefficient, and even impossible.

Email has no community

What about those who refuse to use electricity, or language, or computers?

If you refuse to use computers and electricity, then you need a physical local community.

I question whether it is possible to be a part of any kind of community at all if you refuse to use language 🤔
