Yeah, that's right. There are several ways to grasp the world. For me the issue
is words; if somebody is not capable to tell me or explain me or describe me
something with the adequate array of words connected in a logical form according
to grammar, etc, I do not understand nothing. Of course maths people thinks
trought numbers. Etc, etc. We are nothing but parts of a mayor entity called
humanity. She is the being that creates and thinks; we just play the part of
local processing units connected by words and concepts or even gestures to
create, after indirect and direct paths, the knowledege, the arts, etc.
