Living in a trapped mindset. MENTAL CHAINS STOPS ''GROWTH'' WISDOM KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING DIES ! (277 hits)

The potential for conflict here is clear, two people or cultures with different views will tend to avoid compromise, they often cannot even comprehend the worldview of the other party. Resolution of such conflicting philosophies, without the destruction of one or both of them, requires us to escape the attractors into which we are locked and to find a new synthesis state that transcends the limits of our previous behaviour and knowledge. This means, in complex system terms, that we must explore state space, we must look to incorporate new information, new options, new possibilities into the equation. We must become creative, we must innovate. DONT HATE !!

Before we can properly understand the world around us we first need to understand ourselves, a looking-inwards that (at least in Western culture) has been neglected and marginalised since ancient Greek times. Contrary to the view still far too common in traditional human science - that the world is objective and that we passively acquire knowledge of it (the tabula rasa or 'blank-slate' assumption) - we find from studies of complex biological systems, including humans, that these actively create their world, our views dynamically shape what it is we perceive and it is in this coevolution between inside and outside, between nature, nurture and culture (biology, psychology and sociology), that our values and beliefs come into being.
