Episode notes
i think of language, frankly, as like a parasite. Its like a virus, literally, like cavirus. And it doe our asembiote. The intention is to domesticate us, not through selective breeding, but like we have with animals for tens of thousands of years,. But haven't we been doing that a long time? Well, we have, jim. I'll make one point though, that those changes in the morphology of our brains, it doesn't mean we're smarter, absolutely not. So ours, yours and mine and any one listening to the show, hopefully we have different brain shapes than the person who has never been taught to read.
