i think you should HAVE to learn sign language.
It would be so handy to communicate with someone from the other side of a window or something too
I expect everyone would develop a habit of signing some things while talking, to emphasize a point or provide context.
Ogey then... which sign language? American?
they should learn their respective countries. I assume dialects like Black American Sign Language would be preserved through social learning. although a universal sign language could be cool. i think we should learn sign language because deaf people cant learn how to hear.
And where does this slope end? We all have to learn how to speak to neurodivergent people in an inclusive way because neurotipical communication can lead to misunderstanding???
whats next? radically changing our society to address the needs of the most needy first? CRAZZZZZZY
In the post-atomic horror of the near future you will need sign language to signal your comrades while you engage in urban stealth combat against the techno-barbarians of the rad wastes
A bizarre combination of Drake and BTS lyrics, they're a barbarous people
To communicate with deaf or hard of hearing people, to communicate with someone when you both can't hear eachother, to commicate with infants, to committed with non verbal people, etc but just communicating with disabled people should be a good enough reason
