There might be some truth to that. There's a lot of data which suggests that we tend to think about things differently depending on our native language because language is necessary to contextualize our thoughts into meaningful information. That said, there have been amazing philosophers from every background, so I wonder if there's more to their gifts than the language they speak. Maybe they're just wired differently. But it's really interesting stuff to think about ... That just got a little meta haha
