      conscious thought doesn't have to be verbal, and in fact I'd expect "inner monologue" type people to be sapir-whorfed in a much stronger way than nonverbal thinkers

      Languages in the formal sense (a mapping between arbitrary symbols and a meaning) don't have to be. Since babies can think before they can speak, there presumably exists some primitive language in our brain that we use for reasoning.

      Think programming languages. Computers can run languages like javascript because they've been "taught" to do so by installing an interpreter. You could say js is socially mediated between computers! But to be able to install it, for a computer to be able to anything...

      it must interpret a lower-level language called machine code. How that language is interpreted is hard-coded when the machine is manufactured. I meant primitive in the programming sense, i.e. something provided by the environment rather than the user. For example, ...

      addition is a primitive feature in C, but functions defined in C by the programmer are not. For anything to work, primitive features must exist - it can't be turtles all the way down. I assume there must be some hardcoded form of representing info in our minds so we can...

      manipulate it. If there's no symbolic repr that can be manipulated everything would have to be instinctual responses and multi-step reasoning outside a limited set of cases would be impossible, I think (but can't prove!).

      the part where I didn't follow was the presupposition that the baby brain thinks in any language at all; sure (assuming a computable brain) you can formalize it as a turing machine of some sort programmed in some sort of language, but it's not clear whether it's interpretable

          (interpretable as in "interpretability problem") and even then, you'd need to distinguish between the formal description and what the program/process experiences, for example suppose you're doing image recognition, that program won't be experiencing its own code

          Sure if you're conscious, you'll experience a dumbed-down version of the whole machinery, but why would that experience necessarily be words instead of, say, some form of proprioception? Suppose you grab an apple, do your limbs beam words at you instead of a feeling of weight?
