No, that's not stupid, it's one of those little questions we think up while high that analyse's the smaller but still important aspects of life.
Anywhoo, I'd say we would be thinking like animals, who don't use a verbal form of communication either (for the most part). I think that may be part of the reason that we have that special quallity apart from animals; that is, we ask questions. Language has enabled us to express and share ideas in a far more complex manner than animal communication, allowing advanced and abstract concepts to form, eventually into brilliant ideas like agriculture, writing, and eventually civilization.


ooooh, that reminds me, I have a civ 3 game to start! I'm the spartans (my king's name is Leonidas lol) and those damn Japanese are starting to settle on my land! So I imagine war is innevitable, I mean I can't just let them settle on Greek land, they have all of East Asia to settle on for fuck sake!!!

sorry I'm just incredibly stoned, so I'm gonna have some fun...
