In general, because we are tremendously inept at framing problems, the efforts we make at solutions — are apt to become costly ramifications of our initial misapprehensions.

We are often found wrestling with what we have so poorly framed that our replies are structurally bound to magnify our misfortunes.

Yet it is possible to transform this situation in our own lives and cultures, and the clear awareness that framing is more crucial than response comprises a powerful gesture of initiating our explorations of these opportunities.

It is impossible to adeptly to reply to any crisis quandary if we cannot frame it intelligently. Too often our habits, language, and culture actively prohibit this opportunity.

When we engage these matters directly, both in discussions such as this and at the beginning we interrupt the language and habits. This grants us the opportunity to see beyond the limitations they would otherwise enforce.

This is an example of cognitive activism.
