At the risk of becoming less popular around here, and to show that Remove All Doubt accepts diverse philosophical viewpoints (if not political ones), I will say this: Richard Rorty is absolutely correct in praising Davidson and Wittgenstein for these ideas:

Both philosophers asked us to stop thinking of language as an attempt to communicate the content of nonlinguistic experiences. We should, they argued, stop thinking of our minds as inner theaters. Instead we should think of the possession of a mind -- the feature that distinguishes humans from brutes -- as the ability to use language in order to coordinate our actions with those of other people.

As a matter of fact, most of the things he says about philosophy are dead on balls accurate (its an industry term). Word to your mother, Dick.
