We think primarily in images, and only secondarily in words, while
both the image and the word are preceded by the bodily, the
visceral, the muscular. This holds even for mathematical thinking.
It is the entire motor system, including facial expressions and
bodily gestures, that underlies not just emotions but also abstract
thought. Communication, too, is a primordially visual task, spoken
and written language only gradually supplementing and even
supplanting the pictorial. Writing liberates, but also enslaves;
after centuries of a dominantly verbal culture, today the ease of
producing and accessing digital images amounts to a homecoming of
the visual, with the almost limitless online availability of our
textual heritage completing the educational revolution of the 21st
century.
