A theory of mind is simply the conciousness that other people think different things from us even if they have the same information. The fact that a theoyr of mind exists (at least for people older than 4 years) is considered mysterious and unexplicable by anglosaxons, whereas it is taken for granted by latins, probably beacuse latins always wear a mask and must reckon the thoughts under the mask.
Recent studies suggest that bilingual children develop earlier a theory of mind; this is obviously becuase to have a theory of others's mind you need a theory of you own mind, and a theoyr of your mind is easier to develop if you compare your mind to that of others.
Anyway, the obvious superiority of latin - beaucse theyr theory of mind is so natural - is flawed by the fact that they are masked, In the rare cases they are not, we have Leonardo, Raphael, Gramsci, Galileo,
