>>I think that language is what the human brain does. I think language is a UI with our own brain. It allows us to interact with its knowledge system and representation of the world. Self is a thin client running on the vast knowledge system. If you think about it, thinking is not where the real thinking happens. We get intuition signals from the brain on what is true / false , which are required for our higher level thinking. So thinking we do is also a thin client running on top of the Brain OS. Both the thinking and language are serialization tools of representation of the world that was solely evolved for communication with other brains. Since we don't have direct neural link with other brains, we have to serialize it and hence language based thinking. So i think to evolve language understanding in machines, we might have to simulate many intelligent agents in a simulated environment and let them collaborate. Similar to how our brains collaborated and gave rise to natural languages.
