oh, but you see, we have a miscommunication. when i say the way the mind
thinks, i'm toaling abou the actual physical functioning of the brain. The
mechanism of the left brain makes it label and classify. for
clarification, let me say that the way it classifies and labels is
changeable--certainly--but the fact that it does label and classify is
unchangeable. people should not feel bad about the fact they label, what
labels they give and the logic behind them.
