Oh yes, you're absolutely right.* It's an impossible goal to
   reach. But there's shortcuts to understanding the thinking,
   thanks to the fact that we're educated similarly and 'tend to'
   follow stereotypical patterns. The scripts people use without
   even realizing it makes it a LOT easier to understand other
   people's thinking processes.* Perfectly?* No, not at all.* But
   well enough from a broad zoom view, and the more you engage with
   people different from you, the more you understand yourself. In
   the end, all I'll be doing is understanding myself and my
   capabilities as all of this 'understanding' will be taking place
   in a single place in the Universe:* within myself. So, I'm
   trying to maximize it.
