Being physiologically set up for a production of small mouth noises, notice that language is a very primitive form of telepathy. Because here is how it works: I have an idea. I look in my dictionary. I translate the idea into what we call “English.” I then move my lips, throat muscles, and aspirate in a certain way, and I send an acoustical pressure wave across space which enters into the holes on the side of your head. Your brain reconstructs this acoustical wave and tries to match the incoming pattern against an interior dictionary which has been learned. Now, if your dictionary and my dictionary are congruent—lo and behold, you can reconstruct my thought in your mind.
