Even if that's only to try and understand/appreciate <em>why</em> they're the dominant modes.<br /><br />Heh... the first word verification thingy was <em>inherd</em>.

It's like the saying, "don't be so open minded that your brains fall out". There has to be structure to our understanding of the world. And lots of people preaching new ideas just because they are different, not because they are better (and usually it's just because they're trendy). I'm convinced that most people who think they are thinking outside a paradigm are actually pushing themselves farther inside one.Janeheiresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14433497544818392893noreply@blogger.com
