Re: A FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE

"Ahhhhh, cognitive masking... perhaps, you refer to the premise
developed
by Hervey Cleckley in his... Sunday school group; "

not at all

"Paradoxes! Oh, yes. They are the prime motivator of original and
creative
thought. "

that's one way to see erm, talk about them...

"And, what is this! The human mind's "customary niche?" Now there is
a
cocktail party warmer
upper if ever there was one. "

Look to the more general, fer instance, "space and time"

"In what niche would you place your own? "

Huxely has a saying in which he trotted out a long list, like
religion, science, art etc etc, asking if they were enough. His conc
was that neither individually nor in any combination were they enough.
There is no "The" answer , only little answers to individual, hopefully
litttle, before they get big, problems. There is no gaseous vertabrate
father nor can you ever become one. Whatever you do in life you will
ultimately have to take chances, and pay your quarter. So you do what
you are told and get a sinecure, life is more, so you don't you,
"rebell", someone more obviously conformist will taunt you while his
friends admire you; as if in the end that matters, or the dying of the
light in your best love... Vonnegut said that ideas are the badges we
use to expose or tribal ideals, also they are weapons to frighten the
invisible beast... There's a rule about how much less time we have for
every labor saving scheme we come up with, we're probably vastly less
literate for it, specialisation not withstanding, in fact we can spend
far more time removing a screw with a mainframe or harrow than with a
screwdriver. We left modernity and it's solutions long agom the
problems it can solve are largely those of it's own creation, todays
problems require "something else". Just lightly scrathing my head here
