    mathematics or cartoons work great for communicating ideas to people who don’t speak the same language you do.

    essentially, all languages are made up. we therefore need to focus more on universal languages that are the same everywhere. mathematics are one example, but surprisingly, so are comics. many of the emotions displayed there are widespread and close to universal.

      It’s pretty hard to express general, commonsense ideas in math, or abstract/complex ideas in cartoons, though.
