Youâ(TM)re saying thought and language are totally separate, but science shows it's blurrier than that. Ever talk to yourself in your head to solve a problem? That inner voice is thinking in wordsâ"language often is the thought, not just the delivery system.

Humans also confabulate without realizing it (ever swear you remembered something that never happened?). Itâ(TM)s an engineering bug, not a philosophical boundary. The trends point toward reliability, not doom.
