>>5548658that's not what is at the heart of this theory.
approach it this way.
you are not a thinker of thoughts, you are just thoughts - without thoughts 'you' do not 'exist'
That 'existence' is rationed to be sort of soul or your human spirit
language is incredible because it gives you a sensation of being the creator of your thoughts. it's incredible because a shared language creates a uniform sense of soul/humanity among your family and community
this is what Nietsche meant when he said that people don't have ideas
ideas have people
language, the very way you think is the idea that causes you to view yourself as the creator of thought, but you're not because you do not create thoughts, you just have them
you are not a "thinker of thoughts" you are "thoughts"
