也许不是收官 episode -NOT the final episode of 2025! 也许过两天再聊两句:)
ok this one:Starting with personal multilingual learning experiences, i explore the charm of linguistics—from the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis (05:25) to the profound connection between language and cognition, and from real-world Dongba script (09:41), emojis (10:09) to alien languages in sci-fi works, revealing language as a core "cognitive lens". Using Ted Chiang’s short story collection Stories of Your Life and Others as a thread, this ep. delves into ultimate themes like time perception, free will, Gestalt Switch, and the balance between AI and human cognition. And finally! A quick tour of that 8 mind-bending sci-fi stories in Stories of Your Life and Others..... just listen! 请听~ 😊❤️
