You were able to think before you learned English. Blind and deaf people are still able to think. So thought is prior to language. “Think” about it: Have you ever had an idea you’ve had a hard time articulating? You got the idea in your head, but you don’t know how to communicate it. A lot of you guys are hung up on language, which is how thoughts are often manifested, especially when communicating with others. But often when we’re talking about thoughts, we’re referring to something much more fundamental: intuition, intelligence, and understanding. Stop dismissing thought, just because language is dualistic. You’re only looking at surface, what lies beneath?
