I don't think those dominate models have gone away. For the most part, differences in thinking and meaning making are always framed as disabilities.https://twitter.com/ultimape/status/790059157466611712 …

It is too expensive to run a factory production line (school) when all the raw materials (children) you're building with are different.

I wonder what Feynman would say about the bouba/kiki effect. "Individuals without autism agree with the standard result 88% of the time, while individuals with autism agree only 56% of the time." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouba/kiki_effect …https://twitter.com/Meaningness/status/1039886283840086016 …

When you wonder why I disagree with Chomsky and Pinker on language? It's literally because I'm autistic and as such have a fundamentally different experience of something they often cite on language & meaning making. https://books.google.com/books?id=4N1JDwAAQBAJ&lpg=PT36&ots=tYjdn_iiBg&dq=%22cuppiness%22%20socrates&pg=PT36#v=onepage&q=%22cuppiness%22&f=false …pic.twitter.com/rkcDJnk2Fa

Bouba/Kiki is a synchronization primitive among language encoded in genes, but it isn't arbitrary. Everybody basing these highfalutin theories on it are ignoring entire swaths of experience, wiped under the rug because we're 'diseased' and don't count.https://twitter.com/ultimape/status/916018232661815298 …

I don’t think it’s genetic. The shape perception is related to the geometry of the phonetic model. Bouba is round for the same reasons that spheres are round.

I think genes play a minor role, but only in that the bias a lot of attention and cognitive rigidity aspects. But I also suspect much of that is filtered thru the larger holobiont, which is culturally mediated ala diet and social norms.

Stuff like https://psychcentral.com/news/2018/01/01/gene-variation-affects-mental-task-performance-after-sleep-deprivation/130638.html … ends up being modulated by social norms around sleep, for example.

Yes, phonemes are modeled differently in different linguistic communities.
