There should be a TL;DR to filter out all the BS in this article.

JUST KIDDING

I really enjoyed it. I once realized--on magic truffles--that if I dedicated my life to writing about the trip, I could never fully express how insightful and powerful the experience was simply because words are not efficient.

If you asked some of the greatest writers of all time--Ernest Hemingway, for example--"Ernest, great job writing The Old Man and the Sea...but did you nail it? Like really nail it? Did you really get that thought you had in mind across?" I am almost certain he would say no. I believe the same goes for painters like Picasso, Van Gogh, Michelangelo.

But there is hope. The first words were almost certainly grunts, and crude puffs of air. That evolved to more complicated inhaling and exhaling--fast forward tens of thousands of years and we now have English, Arabic, Spanish, Japanese, so many different languages.

What will we have in 1,000 years? 10,000? How will we be able to bullshit then?
