Actually, they are, to a large extent. The fact that you and me can
have this discussion, and (hopefully) we both understand more-or-
less what the other person has said, is only possible because a lot
of the ideas in your head are the same (or very similar to) the
ideas in my head.

What are languages and cultures if they are not "collective 
consciousness"?
