In summary, the conversation discusses the use of language in the fictional Albatross culture and how it may transform into another cultural form. The speaker also mentions the internet culture and its potential for freedom of expression. The Albatross culture is described as a role-playing game to demonstrate the complexity of culture and the limitations of language. The speaker questions the accuracy of the portrayal of the Albatross culture and asks for the other person's impressions if they have participated in the exercise.

Why do people not use language to communicate in Albertros culture ? How far do you think such a culture reaches before transforming into another cultural form ? Thanks

By the way, is there any remark about such a culture in current social trend you would like to include, especially the society you are living in ?
One of modern culture I would like to remind you of is the internet culture I so-name myself in which I personally think you can find more freedom to have your own opinions around here and there, whenever and whatever.

Now that I have read what you are referring to I think that what a person is exposed to of the 'Albatros Culture' is specifically made to be simplistic to throw off the perceptions of the participants. From what I read there really isn't any reason to believe that the 'Albatros' don't use language and really even just the three simple expressions used in the excersize are a sort of language. I think that the limitation of the language is only supposed represent a lack of common language and an ability to communicate and understand what is occurring.

Did you actually participate in this excersize? What were your impressions?
