   Well, you know, there is something called 'brains',   
   'minds', and 'souls'.   
      
   And, of course there is a being or person in   
   the Greco-Roman tradition called 'Psyche' or   
   the wife of Cupid.   
      
   If you call 'psychology' the 'study' or worship   
   of the wife of Cupid and also recognize that some   
   people say that the word 'psyche' derives from   
   the word 'soul' then you start noticing that   
   'psychology' could be a 'religion' and not   
   'science'.   
      
   But there is also something called 'brains'   
   and 'minds', and I tend to think that 'brains'   
   are something vastly different from 'minds'.   
   Much like with 'computers'.  'Brains' might   
   be something like 'hardware' and 'minds'   
   might be something like 'software', and   
   so 'minds' might have a somewhat more   
   'idealist' basis and 'brains' might   
   have a more 'materialist' basis.  Maybe   
   however all of that is way off, who knows.
