Philosophy Wire: Encoding life. Encoding existence.

People like the late Stephen Hawking are unable to speak because their muscles are paralyzed. Scientists want to help these individuals communicate by developing a brain machine interface to decode the commands the brain is sending to the tongue, palate, lips and larynx. New research has moved science closer by unlocking new information about how the brain encodes speech. Scientists discovered the brain controls speech in a similar way to how it controls arm movements. [1] Trying to encode words into sound. Trying to know the cosmos by experiencing it. But everything you need to know is in the gaze of the person next to you. Love is not expressed in words. Desperation is not uttered with sound. We live in a cosmos full of nothingness. Dressed in the veil of existence so as to fool us that it is there. But we should discard anything which can be discarded. And if we do, the darkness of Being will rise from the abyss. In silence.
