    Did you know 90% of human communication is rote? Meaning someone just regurgitates a phrase or idea they heard somewhere else in response to a stimulus.

    You know, like a parrot. No actual thought, understanding, or meaning, just a learned response hoping for a reward.

    Useful examples of this in animals convey warnings or other kinds of information.

    Sometimes it’s just meaningless noise though.
