We don't "think" in language. We think in the spatial relationships of stuff.

Note language on the page is visual spatial relationships and spoken language fosters triggers activity between structures in the brain.

We merely use language to communicate. And yeah but thanks, at my age having worked in EE, software dev and trained under various experts (friends and family who are chefs, doctors, aeronautics engineers) in their disciplines... at some point no one is saying anything interesting

Same old appeals to social conservatism of some form; not save the Constitution style but their job despite tech obsoleting jobs forever now. Their culture, despite history being littered with the detritus of dead cultures.

Just a bunch of parroting. Little thinking "oh shit every generation ever has had to deal with this."

Imo if we offloaded to much thinking to tech it was a long time ago; we started to stare at the web and stopped thinking not in language but about the evolving spatial relationships of the physical world
