This is just demonstratably not the case, you can go to any Jordan Peterson video and see that his comment sections are usually respectful and intrigued towards the discussion taking place, granted his interlocutors are being respectful and genuine. i.e his debates with Sam Harris and Slavoj Zizek. The only time you see exaggerated titles like that are usually when Jordan Peterson is in fact being attacked by someone in bad faith, like Cathy Newman or SJW college students.

I’ve always found it impossible to avoid that idea, but it’s flimsy even to casual inquiry- look, all sorts of animals communicate, and many of them lived in the same general environment where humans evolved. What made humans special? It wasn’t just the need to communicate, it was some other kind of pressure/adaptation. And it’s something which apes just don’t have, otherwise extensive efforts to train them in language would have worked by now. Apes are capable of communicating their needs and desires with simple representational sign language. This is not really comprehension of an entire language.

Chomsky’s position on the origin of language is controversial, but is most likely at least in part right: our language capacity cannot have evolved gradually for the purpose of communication. However weird it sounds, our language capacity may be accidental due to a number of cognitive modules have evolved for more specific but different reasons. Once those modules had evolved, the capacity for language emerged as a by-product. Think of our capacity to do advanced math - there couldn’t have been an evolutionary pressure for us to be able to do calculus. Rather, our ability to do calculus is a consequence of a plethora of modules having evolved independently but together gives us the capacities necessary for our brain to do advanced math. Another question is, what is it good for? That is to say, if our language capacity didn’t evolve for communication, what is its function in the sense of what is it good for? Well, it sure is good for communication, but we seem to use it for something else much more, viz. as a tool for centralizing and processing otherwise disparate cognitive functions. In short, a tool for thinking.

I recall an indigenous professor who talked about a common belief among First Nations that the older creatures (eg birds) developed far more efficiently in communication than humans over time (a different pitch or squeak relays valuable information for food, danger, mating etc). Therefore what Chomsky says makes common sense. If it were communication adaptation efficiency alone for survivability, our language would just simplify to efficient utterances. Instead we developed a computational efficient system to acquire language and generate infinite range of thoughts from finite means. Over time the introspector won out because the contemplation proved valuable for communication as well, but that's by fortunate convergence.

Firstly, the distinguished gentleman interviewing Chomsky here is very commendable insofar that he presented very refined and purposeful juxtapositions to Chomsky's findings and thus inspired a hugely insightful exhibition of just some of Chomsky's profound findings on the subject. This guy's really asked the right questions and I'm glad he had the forum to do so. Secondly, Chomsky's responses are beyond satisfactory as he engages the scientific enquiry with a obviously grander scope made obvious by his clear explanation of the language concept , as it is generally actually used, as some kind of interface negotiator (I'm interpreting here). Rather than language being strictly a product of hierarchical structuring,like biological and physical build or evolution, he contends that the user's experience of language use is some kind of real world medium in which one can negotiate ones thoughts(internal) and understanding of the outside world (external) with a view of surviving(innate function of living things). The description of linking interfaces is meaning the reconciliation between internal and external. When Chomsky correctly explained that language isn't optimised for communication interpersonally he is referring to misunderstandings , arguements and conflicts us humans routinely have and before anyone's real intentions were or ever will be understood. Language is a medium to understand others and our attempts to be understood but is not the function of language. If the function, we would be able to say everything we wish to say while never angering other's by misunderstanding or otherwise. Language allows us to engage our thoughts and notions(abstract or otherwise) with an external world we face circumstantially. The linking of interfaces is further support by Chomsky's point on external dialogue and not by the contrary view. The biologist mentioned animals. I've seen dogs have nightmares in their sleep, moving and complaining in their sleeping place. What would they do with words if they could? Explain the internal, ie translate their thoughts. The thoughts and feelings evidently there still

I think Chomsky is right in one sense, at least if we’re talking about speech. The “language module” in our brain must have been largely in place for there to have been an evolutionary pressure for humans to restructure our throat and larynx to give us the capacity for speech. There are no other reasons for why our throats look so different from all other animals including other hominids. In fact, the way our throats are structured are otherwise only to a disadvantage, increasing the risk of chocking from pretty much zero to becoming one of the most common reasons for dying. So whereas the “language module” is necessary for speech and communication, it couldn’t have evolved for that reason - unless it turns out that it was first evolved for something like sign language, but seems unlikely too.
@novakingood3788
Жыл бұрын
What you say is interesting and my mind immediately went to the chicken/egg scenario. Could the throat/larynx evolution have been prompted by some other evolutionary force and the brain development resulted from this gradual change? Obviously I can't know for certain, but I'm not so sure the throat/larynx development should be so definitely and exclusively laid at the door of an already existing brain langauge module. I often wonder when I'm watching primates or other species with apparent high levels of intelligence, even cats and dogs for that matter, what is actually going on in their minds when they appear to be contemplating their next action and whether an internal language exists and, if, so what that language might be. I presume, were it to exist, it would be unique to each individual animal as the have no ability to transmit it to others. I'd be interested to know what NC would say if it were put to him that evolution suggests that the development of the ability to speak produced greater benefits that outweighed the risks of the increased chance of choking. This suggests that our ancestors that were able to speak to each other had an evolutionary advantage over similar species that were unable to communicate verbally. It would seem to me that if it's all or mostly about internal language then the ability to speak had no advantage and probably wouldn't have evolved given the risks of choking that speaking entailed.
@nblumer
Жыл бұрын
I would guess it followed the necessity to adapt to speech but it doesn't affect the argument that language developed very quickly for introspection and then part of that introspection then funneled to transmitting a greater range of information. Chomsky's point is that language didn't develop for that reason. It developed to increase the range of thoughts.

Language's purpose is to categorize the world into concepts. A stone is not just "a stone" it is THE stone, it's the same stone tomorrow if I mark it. Hebrew (an old language) has the same word for "object" and "word" = DAVAR. If you loose the nerves in the temporal lobe (that handles language) for a given word, you also loose the ability to see the object for that word. It's the same reason most mythologies start with a God that creates the world through words, not because the words create things, but they DEFINE them. Most people have probably experienced looking at a picture, and not being able to see what it is. You can see colors, but not what they "are" until you "suddenly" can. It's because the brain has defined what the paintings are, in relation to a concept. Basically everything is "unrecognizeable" until the brain plasters it's concept over the sensory-material.

I've also heard him say (and i am heavily paraphrasing), it is a human trait that we tent to do this (catagorization), and that our use of this method is quite arbitrary. for instance "chair" can be identified even without the requisite "chair legs" if that chair doesn't have legs, although this is a commonly identifiable quality of "chair". So words themselves do not define things, exactly. Do you have any thoughts?

@@nathananderson401 That's true. Good example with the chair. I'd say words do define things, but mostly related to "usage". So you can use a "box" which is a "box" as a "chair". It becomes a chair, when you use it like one. Also, think of the cat in Alice in Wonderland, "the grin without the cat". Where you have the category, abstracted from the normal phenomena. I think it's also important to pay notice, that the temporal lobe, where the words resides, are just under the central sulcus, where senseimpressions and motoric commands are registered and effectuated. So there's a close relationship between words and acting in the world and experienceing the world.

@@nathananderson401 No worries :) What else is important, I think, is that the temporal lobe has two important centers. Wernicke's and Broca's. Wernicke's is the brain's "dictionary" and Broca's is where the grammar resides. The active and passive part of language. Furthermore, the dictionary, wernicke's area, lies just under the somato-SENSORY cortex, and Broca's, the grammar, lies just under the somato-MOTORIC cortex. So language is highly connected to our sensory and motoric part of the brain. This, I think, further exemplifies, that language is tightly connected to reality, or experience, and reality/experience to behaviour. The Kabbalists also defines the alfabet as the atoms of the universe. Of course language is not the root of the material universe of atoms, but of the cognitive universe of experience, which our brain produces. Both our motorical and sensory impulses are modified by the frontal lobes, which we experience as "willpower" and "effectuating an action". On the sensory part, the frontal lobes inhibits all incoming sensory input except for that which we focus on. People with problems with the frontal lobes tend to have a hard time controlling their behaviour and some their coginitive behaviour, leading to skizophrenic conditions. Theories go, that animism and shaman's experience is the impulses behind the cognitive phenomena, which is why there is a "spirit" in all objects, which is the impulse behind them. Kabbalists also differentiates between "what"/MA which is the object, and "who"/MI which is the entity/impulse behind the object. Shaman's can also tap into different patterns of behaviour, which can be seen as behaviour patterns, not modified by the frontal lobes, and going to a spirit world, which is build in layers, which corresponds well with the brain producing behaviour and a cognitive world in steps.

@@LasseJ789 are there some books you can recommend on the anatomy of the brain? Specifically the function of the temporal lobes with focus on wernicke's and broca's temporal lobe centers? Do you have reference for the correlation between animism/shamanism-brain-behavior?

So we have language for our own internal purposes but just so happen to also be able to use it to verbalize to others.
