A couple years ago even suggesting that a computer could propose anything at all was sci-fi. Today a computer read the whole internet, suggested a place to look at and experiments to perform and… ‘not impressive enough’. Oof.

Preposterous- cavemen had no language but they could reason, think and learn.

A child learns how to eat solid food and how to walk. That a square peg fits into a square hole. This has nothing to do with language.

people who deaf and mute and cannot read can still reason and solve problems.
