Language is an underrated source of cognitive leverage. 🤔
I’m at least 3x smarter in English than in Hindi, due to language characteristics alone, like bigger, more modern vocabulary, non-gendered nouns etc (net more like 5x since my Hindi is also relatively weaker)

I think it’s worth knowing at least 1 other language simply to appreciate how language shapes thought, but you have to get to thinking-in-it fluency at least. I grew up with thinking-level fluency in 3, but never learned any as an adult.

I disagree! Memes are well packaged shortcuts to expressing a situation/feeling.
