Humans cannot communicate; not even their brains can communicate; not even their conscious minds can communicate. Only communication can communicate.

Humans cannot communicate; not even their brains can communicate; not even their conscious minds can communicate. Only communication can communicate.

Humans cannot communicate; not even their brains can communicate; not even their conscious minds can communicate. Only communication can communicate.

Humans cannot communicate; not even their brains can communicate; not even their conscious minds can communicate. Only communication can communicate.

Humans cannot communicate; not even their brains can communicate; not even their conscious minds can communicate. Only communication can communicate.
