Stemming from a work sustainability meeting, it’s odd how I can be dragged down a rabbit hole!
The conversation began with an anecdote about the storage of nuclear waste. It's a bit of a dry subject, I know, but bear with me.
The thought was about language and how language has changed over the years - in this example, English.
In fact, there is an interesting post on how it has changed back to the year 1000.
Now, instead of looking to the past at language, what about the future? In the example I was given, it was about the storage of nuclear waste - how would we warn people to keep away from it if the language (i.e. signage) has significantly changed?
There were interesting ideas, including creating a religion around it, complete with clergy1, to keep the oral history going.
That leads us to the cats.
