All over social media, you see people displaying their ‘opinion’. But how were they prompted or enticed them to this display?
Consider this question very seriously.
In actual conversations, the enticement is radically different.
But both partake of a pivotal disability.
Very few people can make coherent evaluations. Especially if all they are presented with is language or an image.
»The thing they are making evaluations »with is garbage. If a bird tried to fly with this, or if any organism attempted to simply »survive utilizing such an intrinsically absurd method, they would fail catastrophically at every attempt.
Rational ‘thinking’ is useless (and deadly) outside representational contexts. Even within them it is rarely adept. Thinking is not the basis for »anything other than navigating fictional representational contexts.
Organisms have been encountering inconceivable novelty for trillions of life-years. They do not use »thought to negotiate their behavior within them.
I often see people on the internet recommending some position, or attacking another. From above, this doesn’t merely look absurd, it looks lethal.
Intelligence is based on relational intimacy and awareness, not thinking. Opinions and ‘beliefs’ are mostly a swarm of diseases.
I don’t care what you think or believe. At all.
What I care about doesn’t fit in language.
But it can be discovered, developed… and liberated.
And this results, not in knowledge… or anything familiar to those who use »thinking as their primary prosthesis in awareness…
It results in liberty in the mind.
