'Goal Directed' would have been a better way of framing it. As in, merely having a sense of the word "gradation" as possessing the taste of "blackberries" is not really teleologically significant. — I like sushi
(C) people who do not think in words at all (do they exist? Is it possible?) — Carlo Roosen
(D) people who believe they do not think in words, but they would discover they do, if they practiced a bit of non-thinking (although you say some cannot, which I doubt in fact. Some proper teaching will help, plus of course the wish to learn it) — Carlo Roosen
(E) people who know two modes, and both call them thinking (I am curious as to how they experience thinking without words) — Carlo Roosen
There are plenty of cases where people do not possess any language so they obviously cannot think in words if they have none — I like sushi
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
