The point from a beginning is that language affects your perception of reality. We could shift it to - ideas which language represents affect your perception of reality. Its visible on you not being able to understand that, exact borders of concepts inside that pile of proteins you have in your skull can twist your ability to interact and understand outside world.language emerged from an interpretation of reality, which created language and not the other way around
In episode of House, he once told: "Give me a doctor and I will give you diagnose!" Meaning specialist doctor will look for and illness inside his field and wont see the real issue.
Cookie, you are not baked yet. Go back into oven and come back when you will be ready to learn and to teach, instead of arguing and being hostile.
This at some point almost had me in tears. Also, pure amazement, I once saw piece in our country news about deaf blind kids, and it looked to me like lost causes... But looks like I will be ordering a book by Helen Keller for my grandma and mother. Might look into it as well.The deaf blind and cant taste or smell... (video)
Other point of basically "proto language or concepts" almost going together by themselves on by touch. That's just amazing, it, I feel strengthens my theory about perfect pitch people. When you understand a way to "solve" or "sort" something, at early age - which might happen spontaneously or while learning. Then it improves with time just by using it "passively". Like you will get better at writing on keyboard even without really practicing it... Or driving without being focused on improving... just by doing it... in that case it would be listening, then playing the instrument. Once I will have kids, I will try to force perfect pitch on them for sure
From his not well enough though out sentences I have a feeling that he either goes by himself or he will be gone by someone else...Be polite, or be gone.

Now,
one thing which amazes me, is the amount of things you guys read upon. Some of the things you mention I will for sure look up, and read up. But the volume is scary already. I have huge backlog of things to read and do. While many of them are important and some of them quite time consuming. Reading "Food of the God" with intention to understand it properly and not just skim it - for example.
There is a little bit of me that wishes I could focus only on this, but we live in a world where we need to balance lot of things. Even if these days I feel guilty for not doing things I should, and just browsing and maybe even resting after some time. There will again be time where I will have to be focused, and practicing music - has to be done, because learning takes time, has to be done daily. And creating portfolio to compound interest, to be able to look towards future with expectations will take another part of me... Not sure how much will be left.
Far often come to me sentence by Ashitaka from Mononoke-hime: "I came here to see with eyes unclouded by hate."
I guess/hope I don't hate. So I would short it. "I came here to see with eyes unclouded".
Unclouded, by anything, ideas, perception, language, feeling. Or at least try to as much as possible. "I know that I know nothing" as I read, listen and think. After that one might carefully try to expand out, with intention to not be "specialist doctors mentioned above".
I talked to my mother about this concept of language affecting our perception of reality, today. She instantly connected it to he work "Three in one concepts One Brain". While I cant say that she is wrong and while "if you know the way broadly you will see it in all things (Miyamoto Musashi)" it feels to me that it is forcing a road on me... Which went back full circle - she connects it right where here ideas and constructs are - which I am not even surprised by this point, I would be if it would be otherwise.
I feel fortunate that I am able to discuss things here, with you guys.
