In psychology last year we studied Genie, a ferrel child who was tied down to a potty trainingseat. She had no language (i.e. speaking ability) and had to learn all the basic things like walking that many other children her age knew. They question I am posing to you all is: Can we think if we don't have language?

Ah, you're sweet to call us opinionated Mr. Malone. Yes, since the apple example has passed each and every one of the "Truth Tests", than it is, in fact, true: Thought can exist without language. If the opposite true? That is a question for another day. Perhaps brought up in my latest entry.
