The Importance of Understanding the Mind

There's so much variation among human beings. What's normal for one era and one country or culture could be different for another one. And I think even the concepts behind language that people use are different between different time periods. The relevance of how you were functioning mentally was really only related to how well you were able to fulfill the drives or purpose or goal of your society at that time. So we're now in a time where we're industrialized, it's very tech driven. Most people have most of their basic needs met.
