Steins;Gate (2011)
I think I accidentally created a Tumblr group that developed language in a similar way to prehistoric humans
I created a Tumblr community (on December 28th) where nobody was allowed to use any established language whatsoever, I kind of just figured it would be a funny little thing with maybe some words developed well there's 133 members and.. I think it counts as a language now
Keep in mind there was no discussion about word meaning in outside of the group (as far as I'm aware) meaning this language was developed organically between people who didn't speak a shared language.
Some people had certain concepts about a word they were creating meaning but it naturally shifted as people had to interpret based off of where that person was using the word, till enough people interpreted it where it became common vocabulary with a broadly agreed upon definition.
(I would give a really good example of this but I don't want to spoil certain word meanings for people, If you're curious DM me)
Sure, Some people would just make random noises and I'm sure that was the same in prehistoric time, but over the common need to be able to communicate people in this community developed agreed upon words with definitions.
(Yes, I know some words created are basically just English but spelled wrong but that's the exception not the the rule, most words seem to be completely original)
A example people speaking the language in a comment section under a post (They're discussing words and their meaning)
The post these comments are under I believe to be a list of words and their meaning:
2 bi oopdated Narb = ✔👍 (narb = "😎👍‼" 2??) Ll___= 🟥🟧🟨🟩🟦🟪⬛⬜🌈 (Ll's een lanke) Pler narb = 😐 (Pler =___???) ; Noi = ❌ (xoompel: narb = 👍 /
The craziest thing of them all is I watched this language develop and know the exact roots of quite a few of these words, It genuinely does feel like caveman developing language In the way it happened!!
133 members, 135 posts about #Language #linguistics #language • A community where you're not allowed to speak any known language
I'm also getting some interesting results with some other linguistic restrictions social experiment groups, "One word only" and "Emojis only", If you're interested, DM me and I'll send you a link
When do you think the manifest universe and laws will be proven and confirmed by science?
When? I am not sure.
For something like manifestation to be scientifically validated, there would first need to be a universal definition, consistent mechanisms, and methods that can be reliably replicated under controlled conditions.
Right now, people approach these concepts through completely different frameworks, methods, and interpretations, which makes scientific testing difficult.

Good for you on the mental health, biological, social, and neurological levels--and in the long term.
If you’re like most people, your own thoughts and experiences may be your favorite topic of conversation. On average, people spend 60 percent of conversations talking about themselves—and this figure jumps to 80 percent when communicating via social media platforms such as Twitter or Facebook.
Why, in a world full of ideas to discover, develop, and discuss, do people spend the majority of their time talking about themselves? Recent research suggests a simple explanation: because it feels good.
In order to investigate the possibility that self-disclosure is intrinsically rewarding, researchers from the Harvard University Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Lab utilized functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)...
[Two of the brain] regions identified by this experiment... had never before been associated with thinking about the self: the nucleus accumbens (NAcc) and the ventral tegmental area (VTA), both parts of the mesolimbic dopamine system.
These newly implicated areas of the brain are generally associated with reward, and have been linked to the pleasurable feelings and motivational states associated with stimuli such as sex, cocaine, and good food. Activation of this system when discussing the self suggests that self-disclosure, like other more traditionally recognized stimuli, may be inherently pleasurable—and that people may be motivated to talk about themselves more than other topics (no matter how interesting or important these non-self topics may be)...
These results suggest that self-disclosure—revealing personal information to others—produces the highest level of activation in neural regions associated with motivation and reward, but that introspection—thinking or talking about the self, in the absence of an audience—also produces a noticeable surge of neural activity in these regions. Talking about the self is intrinsically rewarding, even if no one is listening.
Talking about the self is not at odds with the adaptive functions of communication. Disclosing private information to others can increase interpersonal liking and aid in the formation of new social bonds—outcomes that influence everything from physical survival to subjective happiness.
Talking about one’s own thoughts and self-perceptions can lead to personal growth via external feedback. And sharing information gained through personal experiences can lead to performance advantages by enabling teamwork and shared responsibility for memory. Self-disclosure can have positive effects on everything from the most basic of needs—physical survival—to personal growth through enhanced self-knowledge; self-disclosure, like other forms of communication, seems to be adaptive.
You may like to talk about yourself simply because it feels good—because self-disclosure produces a burst of activity in neural regions associated with pleasure, motivation, and reward. But, in this case, feeling good may be no more than a means to an end—it may be the immediate reward that jump-starts a cycle of self-sharing, ultimately leading to wide varieties of long-term benefits.” -via Scientific American, 7/6/13
