Thinking about thoughts.
Posted On 02/09/2008 02:07:46 by roswell

Do you ever wonder what our thoughts would be like if we didn't have language? I mean, when I think, I think in English. What if I didn't know English or any language whatsoever? Animals think, and though they have means of communicating with one another, they do not have language. What is it like to think without words, or letters? I think my thinking would be more free, the very essence of my thoughts not being roped in by the limitations of words and their various meanings, connotations, etc. I would think in faces. I would think in light. I would think in colors and hues. I would think in texture and sensation. I would think in ways that could never even begin to be harnessed by the English word "think".

Hey, hope it's not freaking you out that I'm reading your old blog :O (You got 100% on my Office quiz*yay*) But this post makes me think of the movie Nell, with Jodie Foster. Ever seen it?

Sadly, I think about this quite a bit! Wouldn't it be interesting? I think we would truly be getting back to our roots with "human" or "instinctual" nature :P

well, perhaps. what do you say? :)

I think it would be thinking by instinct for the most part with memories, feelings and sensations mixed together.
