I dont know if its the english language that slows down thought or productivity, but more just verbal language. The fact that we can not communicate at the speed of thought; slows down production of life, often times in communicating the initial idea, thought, or point of the subject is lost, to tangents or scatter brains. Their are groups in the world, where at times they operate at such silence and close proximity, they learn to communicate almost telephthicaly. They move or feel a thought rather than speaking it, and their partner or buddy knows exacticaly what the other is saying. An example is under water (scuba) with no or little visability. If done for so long that you are now with the same person day and night, not using verbal communication, and communicating through movment and feeling. The result could be a much more efficiant swim under water. Instead of saying or giving hand sign, to swim -right- both swimmers know what a slight change in direction feels like and are constantly anticipating any change. Wether it is with their swim, the environment, or their partners swim. This is just a simple example with lots of practice and training more complex menuvers or conversations can be managed and ,what happens is communication closer to the speed of thought. Of coars if you cant talk or mange words to some sort of language then no one will know what you are saying or meaning. Monkeys are communicating but to most people it just looks like monkeys.

Trapped by our alphabetic writing which follows the voice. The voice is linear, in his view: there is only one thing happening at a time, a sequence of phonemes. On a larger scale, the unidimensional march of the voice is replicated in our linear view of history, what Derrida calls 'the epic Rating: 5
