So glamour is a dream. And a grammar is, what, a special kind of dream? A useful, linguistically relevant dream. Where we assert/conceptualize connections between symbols and meanings.
And a grimoire, that’s a whole chunk of the grammarly hallucinogen.
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if it was 90% hallucination? A race of dreamers dreaming of conversation, remotely tickling each other’s dreams.
Irl communication would provide a thousand cues for augmenting understanding than a mere textstream wouldn’t. So that’s something to consider.
My hoopijoo relatively.

Black hole of need?
How about just different shapes of people, with differing tastes. Some obsess over money. Others over art.
The worm criticizes the hawk for crawling improperly.
I can tell this means a lot to you. I suppose it’s a matter of taste.
It’s something I haven’t delved into enough to arrive at a definitive conclusion, actually. The subject delivers little thrill for me.
No, modern sci-fi evolved over time like all the other complex stuff tends to.
Modern sci-fi is created by every fellow with a strange idea. Who thinks maybe I could get my idea across better if I framed it as a narrative and put it in scientific terms. because science is such a lovely language for talking about strange ideas.
Yes, like I said, fetishwear. Nonfunctional costumery
But you don’t need spaceships and aliens to do that. It’s just fetishwear at that point.

We have 2 worlds.
The primary world is made of sensations : sight, sound, thought, smell, emotion, etc.
The secondary world is made of concepts : Stories, models, language, etc.
That secondary world. Ya. Words, conversation, books, social media. That affects it. Creates it.
