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.
