Okay, for some people who may have already studied this I apologise, but its new to me and was a bit of a mind job.
So I'm reading this article for uni, and its blabbering on about nothing in particular, and then comes this statement, which basically takes my head off. I can think of nothing else but this. So I have to stop work, and just sit thinking about this idea.
Basically its that we think using the language we talk in. Your sitting there, talking to yourself in your head. Which means that our ability to think is constrained by our language. I know that this is a very simple way of putting it.
Anyway, I just thought this was really cool. And it regained my faith in learning. This is what going to uni is about, (apart from the sex, drugs and partying!). It reminds me of the scene in Good Will Hunting. Matt Damon meets Robin Williams for the first time, and Williams asks him what books he likes, Damon's response: "Whatever blows your head off!".
So how about it people, what things have "blown your head off"?
