This feels so incredibly relevant for today.
This also makes me think about the cognitive delegation problem - structured interfaces in machines and structured methodologies in mathematics helped humans build structured thoughts to express abstract intuition. With machines starting to speak natural language, it's probably not too far fetched to say that humans will eventually stop organising their thoughts, which will turn their thoughts into a kind of brain fog.
Isn't philosophy the best example that you can organize your thoughts in natural language? Of course, there is the tradition of analytical philosophy. However, the vast majority of philosophy was and is written not in a formal language.
