∞ We are trained, particularly as males, to ‘disambiguate’ phenomena in order to produce a derivative ‘fact space’ that we then present as authoritative. This move mimics insight, intelligence and appears to ‘enhance the speaker’s authority’. It’s a rhetological tactic that has become endemic.

In this walk and talk, I highlight features of this problem and ways around it. One of the most dangerous forms of this ‘limits the frame’ and produces, by this reduction, a collapsed perspectival space in which insight is intentionally sacrificed in favor of a form of ideological predation.

I talk in this recording about this by presenting examples of the opposite: intelligent reambiguation. This is a game where when we begin with a reduction, we proceed with introductions of new perspectives, insight and a ‘redimensionaliztion’ of topics that we are trained to collapse. This results in an endless array of deleterious behaviors and ‘successful’ category errors.

Most of what we are trained to think, and the methods we are scripted to use, can »only produce a broad array of category errors that continually lower the bar of our potential insight, intelligence and perspectival liberty.

Exploring this way of seeing reintroduces us to the possibility space in which insight and intelligence, creativity and wonder arise…

I also discuss a surprising insight… that when we encounter any phenomena we cannot disambiguate — i.e ‘We don’t know what this is’, our own identity goes into a ‘cloud like’ form, because knowing what something is turns out to be central to knowing what or who we are, in relation. This gives us a way into the ‘outer space’ of our own identity… the practice of ‘unknowing’.
