ok. but that's why they used to teach greek philosophy. i guess, in the end, the two are so similar that it doesn't really matter...

"But in Chinese, the word for “mind” and “heart” are the same."

i can't remember which greek thinker realized we think with our mind (empodokles?), but he was overturning the view that we think with our heart. the poetic usage here is interesting, but the linguistics here are rooted in bad science.

"Recent research into neuroscience is confirming that the Chinese philosophers are correct:"

lol. no. you didn't understand what they meant. they meant to state that your heart is the centre of thought in your body, that it's where decisions are processed.

nor does the heart have anything to do with emotions. the brain, on the other hand, does.

i'm taking a step back from this now...
