"We use math and language to consciously organize our thoughts, and thanks to our capacity for causal inference and episodic foresight, we can imagine infinite solutions to the problems we face."

The passage supports the chapter's argument that humans can organize abstract knowledge and imagine an open-ended range of solutions to situations they have not yet encountered.
