Weird to think that around 1500 it would be fair to say English didn’t really exist and the world-mind thought in an entirely different set of languages (and Middle English wasn’t one of them) with no global standard.

I basically think in English now so it’s weird to think my thoughts would basically be unintelligible to anyone outside of a ±500 year window. It’s a different kind of mortality.

You’re truly dead outside that window. If there was tech such that anyone could attach your recorded stream of consciousness to their brain and experience it as memories, it would be format incompatibility outside that window.
