Naw. Is the Human mind flawed? Can we pass such a judgement without knowing anything about the human mind? Do we really understand how the mind works? Aren't we trying to model the mind because we are in awe of all the power the mind posesses? Is the mind flawed just because humans make decisions based on their emotional involvement? Isn't the mind used for analysis only while emotions play a major part in formulating the final decision? Let's not hastily dismiss the human mind as flawed. -bindu rama rao.
