How do monkeys process thoughts without a written language?

>>9150551
if you think about it (ironically), most of your actions and thinking aren't mediated by explicit use of language. On the otherhand, maybe not using language is suggestive of their lesser intelligence.

>>9150551
probably not that different from a mute & illiterate person, just imagine what your thought process would be like if you didn't read or write anything or speak with anyone

>>9150551
syntax doesn't need a written language
oogh agh oogh grraagh

>>9150567
I can't imagine that at all.

>>9150551

we dont really think in written language. it's more like subtitles in a movie. you are basically describing your own thoughts.

>>9150551

Imagine playing a very fast paced video game.

You run around at breakneck speed, dodging enemy gunfire whilst killing people. You're in the zone, in a state of zen like flow. All of the decisions you are making, are split second and instinctive.

You aren't sitting there thinking "Quick! You have 0.6 seconds to turn left before that vague silhouette of a person headshots you with what could potentially be a sniper rifle!".

You simply don't have the time to say a sentence to yourself, in your own head. How would you even think of what the sentence should be? There is a thought, then you map words onto it after the thought has formed. In that sense, language is like a monitor, designed only to convey information, not generate it. While your thoughts are like the CPU.

seems like you've got the cart before the horse.

Do you only think in words? Most of my thinking is in images/innate understanding.

>>9150551
Just ask some illiterate nigger, it's the same.

Watermelon, mostly.

>thoughts without a written language?
What????
Written language is just a way to represent spoken language.
How do you think people invented written language if they couldn't think in a verbal language?

You just said 'I suck Gorilla dick' in Gorrilian.

>>9152510
well that's what's going on in their heads

do people unironically think in words?

>>9152510

>gorrilian

You just said "shitload" in klien-speak.

A running voice in your head is a symptom of schizophrenia.

>>9152686
that'd be two running voices

>he thinks you require language to process thoughts
lmao, I only think in words when I'm talking or writing something. Fucking brainlet.

People don't think in language. Thoughts are vague flashes referring to a concept (a person, an event, an object, an abstraction, etc.). Language is a more precise way of sharing thoughts.
