Only humans have a brain big enough to do this simultaneously and do it well. ~Edward Hallowell

As a matter of selective necessity, man is an agent. He is, in his own apprehension, a centre of unfolding impulsive activity; "teleological activity." He is an agent seeking in every act the accomplishment of some concrete, objective, impersonal end.
