Walsh and Hughes

Hughes:
talents and intelligence are different from each other as I suppose is widely known. Intelligence transfers to talents in some ways. I liked how the author outlines the different types of intelligience. This shows that out of all the list of intelligence everybody falls in one or more category. As for the mathematical intelligence I possess a little bit of it but don't quite understand why I am so terrible at math.

Walsh:
These shamans to me are somewhat misunderstood in the western world because of our conditioned closemindedness. To us the altered states that thesharmans go into we would perceive it as people who are mentally deranged.We will equate their rituals as been devilish and diabolical in religious nature and in our eyes. Then we will have some supposedely mental or psychology expert diagnose their mental state. We need more to be openminded to understand others way of living and their philosophies.
