- 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.
