From Fantastical to Actual

If the premise of CT is correct, and it properly and objectively groups together psyches, not just bodies, then it presents an unusual opportunity to examine the developmental processes of people who share the same root psychology -- without being confounded on whether or not the psychology is really the same at "root."
