The difference between mind and brain is that brain deals only with memorized, subjective, special-case experiences and objective experiments, while mind extracts and employs the generalized principles and integrates and interrelates their effective employment.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Specialization breeds biases that ultimately aggregate as international and ideological discord, which, in turn, leads to war.
