My experience of the world is not made less by lack of language but is essentially unchanged.
This is curious.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the dominant view nowadays that human’s special kind of consciousness is largely a result of language, because we’re able to formalize (and build on) notions and have an internal dialogue and all those other useful things? Does anyone else think this guy’s experiences could at least point away from language as the root of sapience? Or am I just looking too much into that sentence?
