Language's Profound Impact on Thought
Introduction: Picture yourself in Pormpuraaw, an isolated Aboriginal community in Australia, standing next to a six-year-old boy. You ask him to point north, and with unwavering confidence, he points in the precise direction. Surprisingly, your compass confirms his accuracy. Now, imagine posing the same question to a group of educated adults. Not all of them know the answer, and those who attempt it end up pointing in various directions, eventually succumbing to confusion. Why can a six-year-old boy in one culture effortlessly accomplish what educated adults in another culture find challenging? The unexpected answer, as reported by Lera Boroditsky in the Wall Street Journal in 2010, may lie in the significant influence of our native language on our thought processes. In this exploration, I will draw upon some of Boroditsky's insights to make my points. The relationship between language and thought has been a subject of extensive research in anthropology, psychology, and linguistics. Language, much like culture, is a collaborative system, but it differs in that it is intricately structured. The idea that language could shape thought was once considered irrational and untestable. However, recent cognitive scientific research has shifted consensus, prompting us to question: Do the languages we speak influence how we construct our individual perceptions of reality and view the world? Let's dive deeper into this intriguing phenomenon.

The Illusion of Freewill
This started as a fun piece on the illusion of time… until a tangent became its own short essay! Here goes; Everything around us in nature is circular. The planet we live on, the solar system it rotates within, the seasons. Everything follows patterns that we as humans are able to observe, document and discuss. We are fascinated by anything we believe doesn’t fit a known pattern.. only to later find on closer inspection that it absolutely does.
