@BobClowdr @heyshrutimishra Humans mostly do not think in words.
Animals certainly don't think in words, but they do think.
It's just that words are discrete objects associated with thoughts.
Their discreteness is what makes them easy to store and remember.
This gives the illusion that we think in words, but for most things, we don't.
Many people can't speak but can think.
So do animals.
