Any one opinion can kill millions of Jews or create an immunity for Polio. Yet opinions are the only justification for actions. Every thought process is only due to opinion. The handicapped mind bases all of its irrational' actions and words on opinions that have been formed by watching others. Nobody in their right mind would actually hit someone else just because they can due to our social norms. The problem comes when we take our social norms (which is nothing more than a form of communication) and attempt to put them into a handicapped mind that can do nothing more with them then simple experiments. The average mind can do complex experiments on these norms, but with limited abilities, a mind will actually have to learn from practice. One experiment in one situation does not offer the same results as that same experiment in another situation (the handicapped mind knows this). So, in order to learn, one has to either do something or figure it out in their mind, this is only in one's own interest. Every person has a different opinion of what their own interest consists of. There is the little boy who falls and scrapes his knee, when his parents find out, there are instantly at least two opinions created. 1.) The boy is in pain, he also thinks that touching the injury will cause more pain. 2.) The parents think that the boy is in pain and in order to cause healing to come about more quickly, they must examine it to know what to do for it. As we can see, these are both opinions of one's best interest.

Let me now give an example of an opinion of my own. "The public school systems need to either change or be abolished." Two main things would happen if I got my way and the school system changed the way I want it to. 1.) Students would not only study the great minds but would be encouraged to become a great thinker instead of being told to follow close to the strict rules that are added to every year. 2.) Students would not only be encouraged to become great minds, but think like the great minds and even go as far as they did to acknowledge the existence of a deity or at least a cosmic force.

What would also happen if my opinion of what public school life should be was lived out? Other peoples' opinions would be squashed and many people would lose their jobs. I still think it is a good and valid opinion, but others have their own opinions even though the pluses equal the minuses, there would just be too much anger if my way became the way
