    I'm very interested in your views on the Jaynes theory of
    consciousness. I've just read Jaynes' paper on the subject, thanks to
    Bo's reference at:

    Frankly, I found Jaynes' theory less than convincing, but would look
    forward to your analysis of language and the bicameral mind vis a vis
    the MOQ.

    I presume we can all agree that language is a symbolic system?.
