I am aware that language does shape the way we think to some extent, but it seems to me quite a stretch to say that our entire view of reality is largely determined by whether our language contains a word for ‘mind’.
I don’t suggest that a single word shoulders all the burden but it’s worth being aware that the premade categories determine which concepts are easily expressible
