    “This conversation with a cognitive scientist about how language reflects the way your brain absorbs the world was the most interesting thing I've heard this week. A culture has no word for "left" or "right," and refers to everything by cardinal directions. If you have no number words after 4, what do you do if you have 7 children?”
