[Xmca-l] Re: The Mindset.

[Harshad Dave]

James,
Thanks for your view point. What you say there in is convincing, but do
animals sustain any undue deformation in their mind that might project
adverse effect in their original natural performance? I agree it is very
difficult to ascertain. For example, we find people that are very
conservative or some people are victim of habit of contracting
preoccupation of their mind while dealing with outside world, and due to
this, their performance becomes inefficient or they also risk failure in
the task.Do we find such deformation in animals?
with regards,

Harshad Dave
