The Chicken or The Egg

I just wanted to say that i think it's kind of ridiculous to suggest that concepts can not be understood without words. Was that not the argument in the audio-clip? Because it seems very illogical to me. Words are invented to communicate new concepts.. so obviously someone understood each concept before the word existed. Of course people who have never been introduced to or had the need for a concept will not understand it. If a word was invented to distinguish black mice from other mice, the concept of black mice would have been understood prior to the invention of the word only there had perhaps been no need to put black mice in their own catagory. If the need did arise then somone would have to first come up with the concept before it could be given a name. I do think that words shape the way we catagorize and give importance to concepts, but I believe that people can understand any concept they are introduced to without knowing a word with which to describe it.
