To be able to work with complex phenomena (any selection is infinitely complex due to relationships)… we developed the capacity to hypostatize. To create a hypostasis. This is, literally, a ‘lesser stasis’, or ‘simplified freeze-frame’ of an incredibly partial collection of properties, functions, qualities, class memberships, and so on.

( Everything is a member of the superclass ).

If we do this with awareness, this method has the capacity to endow us with intelligence. If we instead take our hypostases as authoritative or complete…

… this method collapses our minds into conceptual garbage.
