We’re only at the beginning of discovering the #animal roots of #language. But one thing that we can’t ignore² anymore is the Logos was not given exclusively to #humanity. #Anthropocentrism can now survive only through voluntary ignorance. Reality is there for all to see. We’ll have to admit either that the Word descends from the flesh and not the flesh from the Word, or that the spirit is not a #human prerogative.
A new piece¹ of the puzzle: bonobos #language complexity, more structured than expected. The myth of a separate #human language according to Martinet’s double articulation, is nextdoor.

Question pour les Français·es qui auraient peut-être entendu parler des applications inconnues à l’étranger, #Skred et #Olvid.
Les avez-vous déjà utilisées ? Quels avantages et/ou inconvénients leur trouvez-vous ? Connaissez-vous d’autres services du même type, permettant d’échanger avec des personnes ne disposant pas d’un compte sur la même plateforme (#Discord mis à part) et faciles à utiliser pour des analphabètes informatiques comme moi ?
I have a question for #Peertube users. There is apparently no RSS feed available for Peertube channels so people trying to follow channels through a feed aggregator are left aside. I know that we are supposed to be able to see Peertubers videos appearing on #Mastodon (or other platforms of the fediverse) but it’s barely the case each time. I can see Peertube channels with their content when I go on their website but nothing appears from where I am in Mastodon. Is there something I’m missing?
