We can think, even if our language abilities are destroyed by a stroke.
Language is a way to express thoughts, but thoughts, memories, and reasoning exist without language.
Favorite quote from this MIT piece: "This language system seems to be distinct from regions that are linked to our ability to plan, remember, reminisce on past and future, reason in social situations, experience empathy, make moral decisions, and construct oneโs self-image. Thus, vast portions of our everyday cognitive experiences appear to be unrelated to language per se."

The film was buried by Disney, which limited the release in order to minimize the damage to the company's relationship with the Chinese Communist Party. โIt is intended to glorify the Dalai Lama, so it is an interference in China's internal affairs.โ
โAll of our business in China stopped overnight,โ Disney CEO Michael Eisner told The New York Times.
Scorsese is actually still banned from entering China because of โKundun.โ
