VERBAL COMMUNICATION VS. HORIZONTAL COMMUNICATION

verbal communication: individual struggle towards an idea. the vertical scroll of a blog. wholly personal, and in many ways secretive.

horizontal communication: collective ideas forming through discussion. blog-to blog communication (comments, video responses, textual response, class, etc.) horizontal communication is in many ways more honest than vertical communication because the idea is seperated from the ego.

i hope for you all to erase my ego, and hopefully i can erase yours.

unless ego is your thing.

now that i think of it, ego might be my thing also.

that reminds me of how in Mexico in the old days people would judge how rich others were by how pale they were. If you were rich you wouldn't work outside or even really go outside, so you'd be pale and everyone would be jealous. The really tan people were the slaves.

Gosh. With how pale I am, you'd think I'd be a millionaire.

So there's this cross emerging in a vertical verbal communication scroll scenario topped with a horizontal one.

And room for diagonals.

That vertical scroll is also such a long single page; the stretch of idea; endless ascent or descent, depending.

wide vertical or narrow vertical?

Horizontal expanse.

Thanks for the waysof opning.
