A Russian writer stated, "In Russia, there are two kinds of people:
Smart and mean, and stupid and kind." In America, the mind and heart
can be seen arranged in two significant misdirections, and with other
more positive possibilities.

One common American misdirection is the Midwestern-style anti-
intellectual "hey-mr-smartie-pants-who-do-you-think-you-are" crowd.
These compensate for their intellectual inferiority by claiming that
someone who has a mind can't also have a heart. The other is the
emotionally repressive rationalists, reductionists, logical
positivists, behaviorists, "skeptics," eliminativists, and others who
want to deny the validity of anything intuitive or heart-involving.
These compensate for their emotional inferiority by claiming that
those who have a heart can't also have a mind. Both are in grave
error.
