I think our issue is much more banal: we are very slow talkers and our effective communication bandwidth is measured in bauds. Anything that could bridge this airgap would fucking explode in intelligence.



Yes, that's one aspect.

Our reading speed is not limited by our talking speed, and can be a bit faster.
