First sentence: Jerry Fodor's overall agenda in The Modularity of Mind (1983) is that we should not conceive of the mind as a giant maximally interconnected net, such that, for instance, your language processing can potentially be affected by what you ate for breakfast or the color of the speaker's hair or millions of other ridiculous things.
