"Jordan Peterson on Jung video. It’s remarkable how Peterson acknowledges that he thinks almost entirely in words. Astonishingly humble. But then again, he also admits he can’t tell the power difference between thinking in words or in pictures. He even seems to regard them as almost equal lol. The reality is that thinking in images is orders of magnitude more powerful than in words. Thinking in images is like coding in machine language versus thinking in words is hiring an indian on Fiverr to “code” in ChatGPT-3 for you. If you think in words you are an idiot, unable to think anything new at all. That’s how Peterson can ramble for hours about “the meaning of truth” without getting anywhere, trying to discover the answer by remixing phrases and wordplay, while a genius foregoes language completely and dives deep inside him and his experiences, and pulls the truth of truth right out of himself. I NEVER think in words. It’s always images, and words come into it only when I want to communicate the thoughts—which is to say very late. Even a little understanding of biology will tell you that image-formation is much older (even animals do it), therefore that is the bare-metal level of brainpower. But Peterson knows nothing about either biology or computing. He’s a mere psychologist after all. I don’t mean to underestimate the importance of language, but language is communication, NOT thought. However, it stands to reason that the strongest, most complex thinkers will also have developed the strongest, most complex language to communicate their complex thoughts. Ergo the dominance of Greek and Greek terminology in philosophy, science and art, while brown languages are simplistic, and black languages barely even qualify as languages, but closer to animal grunts. You can see how my thinking shapes language and not the other way around by the way I evaluate popular usage of every word I use, and often redefine them, or even create brand-new terms to fit my needs, while average people are slaves to popular usage and the dictionary. They don’t think at all, they are dominated by popular usage, which is to say, by stupidities. Isn’t a picture worth a thousand words? In fact it is a million." - A. Kierkegaard
