I’m curious, for those interested in Neuralink type things: why do people assume that the brain can generate thoughts and intentions faster than speech? Speech: 125-150 WPM Typing: 65-75 WPM Wouldn’t we have evolved some level of parity whereby we more or less think in language at roughly the rate of speech?

Isn't it an issue of translation of the <thought> structure into phonetic language that is being bypassed? I'm guessing here (this is not my area). Of course the other angle is that we may not be thinking (as we know it) without it always being tied into a language primitive.
