"4151","Spare Me the Complements: An Immoderate Proposal for Eliminating the \"We/They\" Category Boundary","A speculative hypothesis about how to eliminate the \"we/they\" distinction by rearing children (during early critical years) in \"aggregates in flux\" instead of in kinship-based families: A category cannot be formed from positive examples only: one must be able to sample both what is and what is not in a category in order to recognise the category at all. The basis for the distinction is the features shared by the members (invariants), and absent from the non-members. In \"aggregates in flux,\" the individual members would be constantly varying (and unrelated, genetically). The only invariant would be that they are all human.","http://cogprints.org/4151/","Harnad, Stevan","Villaroya, Oscar and Valencia, Leonardo"," Harnad, Stevan (2005) Spare Me the Complements: An Immoderate Proposal for Eliminating the \"We/They\" Category Boundary.
