Also, he is wrong.
The space outside the Noosphere is littered with the silently drifting corpses of words and whole language systems, dead and unchanging, forever cut off from being processed by any living mind.Wikipedia page doesn’t have that anymore. But the talk page shows that it did use to be on the page. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca_Hazelton

Had that showerthought thought after a gummy and bout exploded my mind.Wait until she (or her son) learns about dead languages
I met a toddler who probably only knows about 5 words today at work. He would continually say “Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi…” the entire time he saw me. granted I only saw him for about 5 minutes but little dude was about to explode with all his ‘hi’-s

A three year old would not have the ability to form that concept, let alone verbalize it.
Age two to five years old
Young children are interested in the idea of death, for example in birds, insects and animals. They can begin to use the word ‘dead’ and develop an awareness that this is different to being alive. However, children of this age do not understand abstract concepts like ‘forever’ and cannot grasp that death is permanent.

The library of Alexandria begs to differ.
My headcanon is that a time traveler went back to save it and realized it was all furry porn or something and burned it down himself.
