I always thought it was incredibly absurd that a language would be based on such analogies until memes took over our discourse
Cat, at the table.
Imagine if Dathon was actually this articulate but he was just trying to teach Picard a lesson.
I think half of the episode is the Tamarians genuinely struggling with human language. If the federations translation software wasn’t up to the task, it isn’t surprising that the Tamarian’s software wasn’t up for it either.
Based on the episode, it was posibly the first time Tamarians ever had friendly and successful first contact. Because if they had it previously, they might have asked for help translating when meeting new races such as with the Federation. The episode would have went a lot different if they had an Adorian ambassador with them saying “Yeah these guys talk in metaphor and only metaphor”.
I am of the opinion that these ‘before/after’ memes about twitter are disingenuous because that website has always been a heaping pile of shit and the vast majority of people on it don’t have the mental acumen to actually reflect or critically think on most subjects, and that’s a happy spin on how twitter was before musk bought it.
If anything he just unleashed the fools from every ‘group’ that masterfully fail at grasping even the most basic explanation of nuance and tried to cash in on it (and failed in one of the most typical ways a formerly public company could fail, under the weight of sheer ineptitude).
“Twitter, after Elon’s purchase.”
Neunzigtausend!!!
