“What the adult says, the rest of us understands. With children and schizophrenics on the other hand or psychedelic users, sometimes their responses are so unique to their own experiences that others just don't get it because that person is still in the process of solidifying the congealing brain organization that language bestows. In a great leap (over fifty thousand years or so) the ego took a 180-degree turn from the caveman's primitive organization, hurtling our cognitive development forward in ways that were unachievable before we spoke.” — Steven Lesk M.D.
