Language is overrated. It’s complicated, messy, and full of unnecessary words. It takes too much time and effort to learn, speak, and write. It causes misunderstandings, conflicts, and arguments. It limits our creativity, expression, and freedom.
That’s why we need to simplify our language. We need to get rid of all the clutter and noise that distract us from the essence of communication. We need to go back to the basics, to the primal instincts that guided our ancestors.
We need to communicate by grunting and pointing.
Grunting and pointing is the ultimate minimalist language. It’s simple, efficient, and universal. It doesn’t require any grammar, vocabulary, or syntax. It doesn’t depend on any culture, context, or convention. It doesn’t discriminate against any accent, dialect, or tone.
Grunting and pointing is the language of nature. It’s how animals communicate with each other and with us. It’s how we communicate with our babies and pets. It’s how we express our emotions and needs.
Grunting and pointing is the language of the future. It’s how we can overcome the barriers of language diversity and achieve global harmony. It’s how we can save time and energy and focus on what really matters. It’s how we can unleash our creativity and innovation.
In this post, we will show you how to communicate by grunting and pointing in various situations. We will teach you the basic grunts and gestures that you need to know. We will also give you some tips and tricks on how to master this minimalist language.
