      I postulate that there comes a point where language is required to achieve a higher state of emotion.

      Right, just so we’re clear you’re making shit up and clothing it in the language of science.

      I am not banning you yet because I’m not sure you quite understand what you just implied but it’s hard not to read this as a claim that humans with different capacities for language don’t reach your enlightened heights of emotional complexity.

      That is a very dangerous attitude which has been used to justify absolutely horrendous stuff.

      Do you uh, wanna backpedal from that claim?
