“The purpose of human communication is to make us forget the meaningless context in which we are completely alone and incommunicado, that is, the world in which we are condemned to solitary confinement and death: the world of ‘nature.’”
“Human communication spins a veil around us in the form of the codified world. This veil is made from science and art, philosophy and religion, and it is spun increasingly denser, so that we forget our solitude and death, including the deaths of others whom we love. In short, man communicates with others. He is a ‘political animal,’ not because he is a social animal, but because he is a solitary animal who cannot live in solitude.” -
Vilém Flusser, What is Communication? an essay collected in Vilém Flusser: Writings.
