But when you look at what we are doing, if you want to know what the nature of life is, look at our languages.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

And they can be very different languages, but they all have the same purpose, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

Exchange information, understand, you know, store information, and also whether it is with somebody at the outside or thoughts in yourself.

#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

That's your anthem.

#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

Then we put them together to create syllables, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

Those syllables get together to create words.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

Words tell you something, but they are nothing without a verb that gives the direction.

#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

Our languages are built exactly as life is built.

Lex Fridman Podcast
