Does language shape the way we think? A short TED talk suggesting that - surprise - this is actually the case. Could be a problem for firm believers in propositional revelation and such. "It´s interpretation all the way down"...until the Thing In Itself (or Lord of Hosts) hits us over the head with a really yuge disaster, LOL.
Interestingly, I *do* know the direction of southeast from where I´m currently staying, but that´s mostly because I´m surrounded by maps!
