> 90% of human communication is unspoken.

This is as scientific as the idea of humans just using 10% of our brains.

Of course it is; it’s just a comment on a social media forum.

There’s just as little science language motivates me to work. Most of the language society relies on is hallucinations; fiat currency, nation states, constructs like “Senate” and Congress, corporatism, brands, copy-paste of historical terminology, not evidence they’re immutable features of reality.

What we recite has nothing to do with what we are. I find the appeals to non-existent political truisms primate gibberish.

It seems perfectly clear to me many facts of society are just memorized and recited prompt hacks. Language is the goto tool for propagandists, to obscure sensory connection to reality.

There is over 100 years of propaganda research available, too much for me to sort through, but scientific measure of such is not new; new to anyone unaware of it but not to humanity.

Are you a large language model?

Nonetheless, it's the primary reason people are called to back to office, the in person face time is valued much more than remote chat/email. It's not a coincidence all leaders favor face time, hiring is done via the process of "interview", literally asking the "view". Need more proof?

Yeah, definitely needs more proof.

Just because it intuitively makes sense doesn’t make it correct or the 90% figure accurate.
