Thank you, Mitchell, well-written article.
I am delivering the same, but then from a structural perspective. People are not always that aware of the structures in which they think. My target group involves scientists that come to conclusions based on solid information, but that are not thinking for a single second about the structure in which they place that information.
Blue is a different truth when shopping in a paint store compared to laying on the couch at the shrink. Contents and context go hand in hand. Scientists are not good at understanding the context of their data as formulated by their minds.
Not sure if you are interested in my work. Here’s the introduction to a ten-article series about structural thinking and the big picture:
It shows that the overall idea, the big picture setting, is not understood well. To use religious structures: Having a single God or having many gods are two completely distinct overall views. They are nothing alike from a structural perspective and cannot both be true. With the Big Bang, scientists are trying to find a single source, a single point even, while ignoring the required variety to even have a process in which matter can get created. Diversity (even of the simplest kind) is required; the big picture structure of the mind needs to wake up to it.
Thanks again for your article.
