I started this thread yesterday and it seems like the topics are converging... Thread: If you are a CONSPIRACY THEORIST, your mind is working more EFFICIENTLY Also, you still haven´t shown me that you can visualize something as abstract as this topic and convey it to us using other techniques other than language. I guess a good way to do it would be to find a painting or a musical piece that would generate the feeling you get when you think about the topic and hope that others interpret the art the same way. In that way symbols or sounds are being exchanged for words...and symbols generally have much more abstract meanings than words so we can say that art as a form of communication is perhaps a better medium for many ideas. The only reason we cannot convey in images/symbols a thread such as this one is because such a language has not been developed. If our language had been developed using symbols instead of words, we probably could communicate just as efficiently, or perhaps even more so, with images than with words. If you had practiced thinking in in symbols all of your life, instead of in words, you would probably find it as difficult to convey any ideas in words as you presently find it difficult to convey thoughts in symbols. It's just that people are more accustomed with words than symbolic thinking. My point is that, although it is more familiar for many people to communicate and think in words, this does not mean that thinking is defined by words nor even limited by them.
