The same way the hunger module interfaces with the learned language circuitry when someone tells you there is cake in the fridge.

There’s no specific “eat cake” module there, it’s learned that cake reduces hunger, that’s the whole point.

  These are two quite distinct claims. Only one of them is insane.
