Talking as Regression

What if talking was really not an improvement in the human race but a regression? I mean, so many people take offense at perceived slights or fight over misunderstandings. Would we not be more peaceful beings if an imprint of out thoughts or feelings were communicated to one another? You will argue that with the advent of language, we have been able to communicate and retain knowledge much more readily and, arguably, evolve faster.
Maybe then, it is not the fact of talking that is the problem, but rather what is being said. Talking is so overrated. Let's try silence.
