We should wordmaxx without mercy. Donβt believe 20. century propaganda that tells your gullible brain to dump down your speech for the comfort of the masses. Language is an instrument. Why play pop all the time, when you can create a symphony instead? Use strange and intricate words. Play with nuance and subtlety. Demand from your audience to occasionally stumble and use a dictionary. Yes, you can compress your speech and flatten it, like a Bauhaus facade. But believing that such as process causes no ontological loss of meaning is as naive as thinking that friction is a bug rather than a feature.
