Language is primarily a tool for communication rather than thought

https://t.co/lnjn3bcx0A

“Language is a defining characteristic of our species, but the function, or functions, that it serves has been debated for centuries. Here we bring recent evidence from neuroscience and allied disciplines to argue that in modern humans, language is a tool for communication, contrary to a prominent view that we use language for thinking. We begin by introducing the brain network that supports linguistic ability in humans. We then review evidence for a double dissociation between language and thought, and discuss several properties of language that suggest that it is optimized for communication. We conclude that although the emergence of language has unquestionably transformed human culture, language does not appear to be a prerequisite for complex thought, including symbolic thought. Instead, language is a powerful tool for the transmission of cultural knowledge; it plausibly co-evolved with our thinking and reasoning capacities, and only reflects, rather than gives rise to, the signature sophistication of human cognition.”

We hope our open-source tool will inspire researchers to facilitate explainable AI (XAI)-empowered remote sensing applications with GEE and geemap.

@giswqs This is the first important attempt to combine the power of GEE + XAI (Explainable Artificial Intelligence). In the paper, we use LULC classification and monitoring as two demonstrative cases, but our method and workflow is pretty flexible to adapt to other use cases.

Dear #ClimateChange deniers and bots

Over 99% scientist agree that #climatechange is happening and it is due to human greenhouse gas emissions

Stop telling everyone there is disagreement - as there is none!

The world is getting hotter 🌡 and it is us

#EarthDay2023

#ClimateChange is about consumption of the very richest people in our global society.

50% of global emissions are emitted by just 10% of the population.

90% of global emissions by 50% of the population.

We need to recognise climate justice to save our planet
