I once spent six months without language as a deconditioning exercise. No music with words, no reading, no media, no conversation, just me in a lovely rented cabin in the Berkshires.
I viewed it as an experiment to reboot my mind. I noticed an increased ability to conceptualize without words. Changed my life.
This is fascinating. I listen to podcasts, books, music while I paint-- my waking moments are crowded with language. All of this listening is for my own "education" but rethinking what education is.
