Those who join us need give up only half of their humanity--the illogical,
|
||
|
|
ill-tempered, and disordered half, commonly thought of as 'right-brain'
|
||
|
|
functioning. In exchange, the 'left-brain' capacities are increased to undreamed
|
||
|
|
potential. The tendency of Biologicals to cling instead to their individual
|
||
|
|
personalities can only be attributed to archaic evolutionary tendencies.
