| Jul 4, 2016 at 13:02 | comment | added | biotech | New words, new happiness. Something new to satisfy our brains needs sometimes bored about having the same experience. | |
| Jun 30, 2016 at 9:36 | comment | added | Erhard Dinhobl | Very interesting question! Patrick Winston - profesor at MIT said: "If you can name something, you get power over it!" But I personaly think that there is no limit of your own world. Otherwise you can not explorer new things. E.g. give 3 cards (pink, blue, green) to a person who does not know blue as a color. The person will recognize "blue" as a color. If you don't tell the name "blue" it will be some other words, for sure, but I think we have to ability for generalization which leads to no limits of our world. | |

| Jun 29, 2016 at 16:10 | comment | added | Doctor Zhivago | Math is a language too. Can I quantify a color? Absolutely. That does not necessarily impart meaning as humans are won't to do...for example "purple" is the color of Royalty so while me might be able to recreate a color into our physical realm "with nary a word" we might be missing out on its "substance" since as humans we are wont to draw inferences based upon our experientialism. In other words perhaps what you should ask is "does the mere fact of seeing something evoke a response with not a word spoken?" And of course the answer is yes. | |
