if Gervais thinks only conceptually and not "verbally", then he is an animal. It is only through words that we can think rationally and logically. So it can be oral words, or their representation (signs, letters, etc.) - but it's usually the intellectualization of spoken language. Voilà, c'est tout.
@SolDeSaBelle I think the point Gervais is trying to make is that the brain has no voice. The words simply appear in his head as ideas without having to be spoken internally. When I think about things, I don't hear my own voice in my head, the thoughts simply being there. One thing they're pestering Karl about is that it's almost as if he has an internal monologue, reciting full sentences worth of thought. I don't know, that's just what I picked up, I may be wrong.
@TooneyD yeah, that makes more sense. Gervais is sometimes so on about bashing Karl that he is a little sloppy on science explanations, but he is usually right about what he says. Not always though, I think I heard him say that chimps don't have opposable thumbs, once. Oh well.
Hey ! Two YouTube commentators came to an agreement without calling each other gay ! It's a miracle !
@SolDeSaBelle I'm with you, an internal monologue for some instances is common. You've never said “what the fuck” in your head when seeing something odd? Ricky and Steve were just being dicks here. I can cite other examples but yeah, I tend to just skip over these bits.
Because ricky and steve talk about it and derrive humour from it, but if we just looked at it it would be fairly boring, because we wouln't have karl there to go in to more detail about the short passages :)
i loved the last episode of Idiot Abroad where Karl goes on hiliday to his favorite place, it was a dreary moble-home park near a cold stoney beach. all he did was sit and stare,... hillarious!
@IzaFaqat When I'm thinking mathematically I think in full sentences... Like on a problem or working something out or something, but when I think of someone else saying something or a picture or w/e it's just there as Ricky stated... Interesting.
@HabeKeinMitleid i mean i don't have conversations with myself like they put it but i talk to myself in my head. thoughts do pop in my head. but i do talk to myself this way. im more introverted by nature so maybe thats why
I find that when the sun glares too brightly through, it turns the monitor into a reflective surface, sort of like a mirror. Maybe this would account for your poor visual experience.
And he scored was it only 82 on a MENSA test? Surely he didn't make any effort what so ever! He doesn't fool me any way. The man is a genius, and Ricky, Steve and a lot of you out there know it, but he is SO good for comedy!!! Big Thumbs Up, Karl!
'do you know about joined up writing, have you heard about that?'' jokessssssss. and i loved "imagine if anne franks would have been that big" hahhaha
@djtostensonjr Karl has published his writings: The World of Karl Pilkington (2006) Happyslapped by a Jellyfish (2007) Karlology: What I've Learnt So Far (2008) An Idiot Abroad: The Travel Diaries of Karl Pilkington (2010)
I've never heard of the word cursive before, it's an american term. Brits just call it 'joined up writing'. It's a bit more descriptive and doesn't confuse with 'cursing' which as a brit is practically mandatory.
I hate how sometimes Karl says things that make perfect sense and then the other two just twist his words and deny anything he says. I know what he means about thinking in his accent because you sort of hear a voice in your head right? Like a thought voice, like right now I'm thinking the things I type just before I type them, because if I didn't, I wouldn't know what I was typing, would I?
@oligasboy wouldnt work...because he doesnt find himself funny...he is just stupid and that is why ricky and steve have to ask him questions or ask him to comment on things.
