If only humans could somehow transmit information with each other by making and receiving sounds…
The interesting part of this isn't that two brains are communicating, it's that they are doing it along unusual interface boundaries.
Communication by Controlled Atmospheric Vibrations? Nonsense! Preposterous! What kind of backwards society could function on something like that?
Imagine a world of beings communicating by air vibrations... I mean really--EVERYTHING causes air vibrations, how would you sort out actual communications from everything else? Imagine the kind of brain specialization you'd need just to make sense of anything! And how easily blocked! You could be separated from communication with all your hivemates by the flimsiest of barriers! It sends me into a panic just thinking about it. (shudder)
((Yeah, take joy in the merely real. I get where you're coming from, but you can't deny that there's a significant difference in the directness of the communication. So much information gets lost in playing telephone.))
