Abstract
Since we are a few chapters short of the halfway point within a book replete with a great deal of new and often complex information to digest, I believe this may be a good time to “pause” and answer a few important questions that might be on your mind.

Since a wide range of neuroimaging publications—thousands—have validated almost all of my clinically derived data thus far presented, as well as the insights to follow, I have included many of these within a special reference category called, Independent Validation—Typical of Thousands.

Possible instinctive origins of bias—I’ve repeatedly observed how two species of geese and seagulls seldom, if ever, mingle while shifting across the ice on a nearby lake. Each species maintains its respective territories and herds together. So, I wondered: Might there be an instinctive origin to bias in man—so explaining our varied hardwired prejudices—continuing to resurface and shift, despite pauses? Could these instincts direct us to create and herd in small clubs and even large ones—societies. And also rigidly determine our mental and physical territories which remain susceptible to group-think? Might these herding and territoriality instincts best explain man’s resistance to accept alternative ideas and customs—others? Strangers? Do not these very same instincts exist in scientists too—despite their efforts at objectivity? Might these deeply subconscious determinants be denied by man and rationalized—so as to preserve the illusion that he is master in his own house—psyche? Have we not encountered some of these manifestations during this dyslexia research effort? Might we not have discovered, in part, the origins of kryptonite?
