Language, whether it's written or spoken, is weird. Words are bits of long dead people's thoughts, reused over and over again; like semantic corpses ever finding new ways to rot.

given enough permutations, (library of babel) everything that has ever been said, and can ever be said, and will ever be said, has already been said. And is to some degree, not an original thought.
