These are just an infinitesimally small number of examples in a small number of fields, signifying the importance of succession of cognition transfers in those fields, which require a well-developed language that undeniably plays a decisive role in the cognitive development of a society. Undeniably, a well-developed language will play some role (the degree will vary) in the "cognitive development" of certain individuals. In the case of the greater mass of a given population, this role will be insignificant. As I have said, within certain parameters, although volumes of information are available at lightning speed on virtually any subject, most individuals are content to choose a mediocre profession. By mediocre, I am referring solely to salary, the choice of a high salary obviously referring to sound economic sense. Clearly, the availability of information, irrespective of language, does not correspond to an increase in certain cognitive capabilities, particularly reasoning and problem-solving skills, as seen in the decline of educational standards in the UK and North America since the advent of the Internet. On the other hand, India and China are producing engineers at an astonishing rate in proportion to the industrialized West. India is already a nuclear power; its "third-world" status will vanish in a few decades.
