Abstract
“And it must follow, as night the a day, thou canst not then be false to any man.” When we separate from that wisdom, we suffer. This chapter is largely about the brain, the mind, mental-izing, and the diversity of these characteristics in people and its importance in human betterment. We each vitally depend on the knowledge of others, from whom we benefit through social and economic institutions.
