“The way we think changes the structure of our minds and behavioral potentials. This means that you cannot really tell which kind of thinking, say, logical or fantastical, is developmentally more sound in general, for a number of peculiar reasons. The first is that the choice you make must influence your perspective on the argument itself, directly, and continuously. That alone is astonishing, but that is not even the beginning of the problem. The second is that what is developmentally sound is never universal, but contextual — thus it cannot be meaningfully referred to in the abstract. As yet, very few can see just how important this tiny problem is. But they will. If they survive it long enough. They will.”
