How do/did people who never learned a language think?
In: 1738
When you’re hungry, do you think the words “I’m hungry”, or do you just know that you’re hungry? When the Sun is too bright in your eyes and you hold your hand up to block it, did you think the words “I’ll hold my hand up to block the light”? Neither of those things require speech to experience or to think of. Now extend that to *everything*. You can hunt a lion without ever knowing the words for *hunt* or *lion*. You still know the ideas and actions.
