[pineappleayo]

Makes you wonder, how intelligent are other forms of life are, and how limited their capabilities of expression are.

 

[jipowap]

What a splendid life that eel lived.

 

[aa_asha_aa]

Eel..

Did they solve the hard problem of consciousness?

 

[q0099]

Thank you kindly for the chapter!

 

[Junpaku]

Eelie!!!!

 

[Spazz6768]

A manga about a civilization in its final days of decline is a fun parallel to current events. Thanks again for the quality translation.

Makes me wonder if there are certain concepts that are beyond comprehension as a result of how we use language to think.

 

[minerkey]

That was beautiful, my goat has done it again ;_;

This idea is called linguistic determinism or, more commonly, the "Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis." It's largely discredited nowadays, but there's been a lot of discussion about it, so there's a lot you can read about if you're interested.

 

[DaNuBu]

Why is the writing just so peak

 

[Enexin]

...is that Misaki on page 30..? (the previous Misaki from the 1st chapter, Minamo-san)

 

[WeabooCunt]

eel...

 

[FancyVirus]

I wonder if the reason they were building up will ever be revealed? Mabye in a attempt to escape nuclear fallout?

 

[tremor3258]

Thanks for the translation! This would be YKK from before the seas rose, that sense of living with the ending.

It's discredited as a strict theory of cognition, but at the same time certainly true that language has a large impact on how we think and what we think about. Not in the form of grammar and whatnot, though wordplay is pervasive, rather in the concepts you possess and solidify through use of language, which language then represents. The scope of one's thoughts can be radically changed by learning a word and it's underlying concepts.

There is then the third layer that communication must occur in a reduced medium like speech, which relies on the assumption that those who hear you have a compatible concept backing the words they hear you say, so that they can construct your meaning from their own bricks out of the plan reduced to language. On the one hand you can't just hear a new word in isolation and in doing so possess it's concept; on the other hand the meaning of a word can be very specific or disputed.

In the chapter this is somewhat the role of the Key, it is a translation layer built between two people with the goal of performing this same task at a higher abstraction and fidelity without needing to render down so far.

Some people say that it has been officially discredited so when anyone points out that elites are manipulating the masses through language, it could be called anti-scientific misinformation.

...is that Misaki on page 30..? (the previous Misaki from the 1st chapter, Minamo-san)

When they said Misaki instead of Minamo in the previous chapter it was an error in the original raws that was eventually edited to be fixed, possibly happened because of a mix up between the character from this chapter and that one.
