You are just kidding yourself if you think that's true. The human brain
has huge problems reshaping its concept tree. Why do you think it's so
hard to effect social change in areas like racism, or religion, or
politics? It's because beliefs run deep and are very hard to change. Why
do you think when people emigrate from one part of the world to another
they tend to bring their soical conventions with them instead of adapting
to the local culture? It's because human concept trees just don't change
very easily. The more fundimential the concept, the less likely you will
get a person to change before they die.
