The speaker talks about their cognitive group meetings where they discuss different perspectives, goals, and interests. They also share their view on thoughts being more abstract and not necessarily tied to language.
This episode explores the complex algorithms and pathways of the language module in the brain, from interpreting and producing sounds to writing and gesturing language.
