Actually, this reading got me pondering something... I think it's amazing how culturally indoctrinated we are when I think about the example of eating certain types of animals in different countries. In South Korea, a dog is sometimes seen as a delicacy as well as a pet. Where as, over here, most people will shut you down as soon as you get them to consider eating a nationally domesticated animal such as their beloved dog. It's interesting how we sometimes perhaps consider some animals “superior” to others in that we eat say, cows and not cats. It's strange how much a versions of taxonomy differ from other peoples, like in this example from a vegetarian's. So I would certainly say that I think the discontinuous mind concept is somewhat flawed.
