I'm not saying she was stupid. I'm just saying she couldnt understand our world because she lacked the tools to observe it.
wasnt she capable of reading once she learned to do so? can one not come
to the understanding of something through that process? think of all those
taking philosophy, while they arent truly philosophers they understand
philosophy and alternately you could say that anyone capable of thought is
a philosopher even though they know nothing of it
if one has a brain one is capable of understanding

I remember when I was 2, 3 or 4 years old (I can't remember the exact year), when I was in a doctors office and he asked me a question. The nurse said to the doctor that I don't know how to speak yet. I remember that I could understand them both perfectly, but I didn't bother trying to say anything to them. I think they assumed that I couldn't understand them, either.
I think Hellen Keller heard people talking before she became deaf and that left some impression in her mind that may have helped her learn to communicate with people.

Quote:
Helen Keller was not born blind and deaf; it was not until she was 19 months old that she contracted an illness described by doctors as "an acute congestion of the stomach and the brain", which might have been scarlet fever or meningitis. The illness did not last for a particularly long time, but it left her deaf and blind. At that time, she was able to communicate somewhat with Martha Washington,[10] the six-year-old daughter of the family cook, who understood her signs; by the age of seven, she had over 60 home signs to communicate with her family.
