La Arto de Mem-Pridemandado: Pridemandanta al la Nth Grado “To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant.” –Amos Bronson Alcott If history has proven anything, it reveals that human beings are usually wrong about their beliefs. A lot of people have believed a lot of things that turned out to be wrong. Before Copernicus, the world believed that the heavens revolved around the earth. Mere centuries before that, people believed that the earth was flat. Before Einstein’s theory of relativity, people believed that time was linear, and some still do! Belief, it turns out, is an extremely fragile thing. The “truth” is a slippery fish, and quite often a red herring. One needs a particularly unique type of net in order to “catch” such an elusive fish as Truth. Although we are highly adept at creating worldviews we are incredibly less adept at realizing that we have made them. And we are even less adept at realizing that we’re clinging to them. Like Noam Chomsky said, “The general population doesn’t even know what’s happening, and it doesn’t even know that it doesn’t know.” Beliefs don’t change facts, but facts should change beliefs. The problem is that our conclusions about our beliefs are almost always exculpatory, even in the face of historic fallibility. The funny thing is: we know we are a fallible species. We know we are prone to make mistakes. It’s just excruciatingly difficult to admit to it, especially to each other. What we need then is a ruthless but effective method of questioning our perception of reality. A type of questioning that breaks everything down to its nuts & bolts and then breaks apart the nuts & bolts. A type of questioning that digs down into the guts of the world and then dissects the womb. A type of questioning that gets to the crux of the issue and then dismantles the roots. This type of questioning is what is called mem-Pridemandado. It’s “self” interrogation because no matter what we are questioning, we are the one doing the questioning. We are the walking paradox, vainly attempting to solve all paradox. I tie?? La afero: most of what we think is true is actually confabulation, fabricated memory believed to be true. Confabulations are not true, but the brain doesn’t know that. All it knows is the cultural narrative. #Tio ?i narrative bias, supported by the conjunction fallacy, leads to confabulation. But without this tendency it would be very difficult to be human. We evolved, as an insecure species in a confusing world, to incorporate this ability in order to survive. Like David McRaney quips, “The brain turns chaos into order so that you don’t bump into walls and pet scorpions, but at the first sign of trouble, the first inkling of befuddlement, your neurons start cranking out false clarity.” This false clarity is what keeps the narrative going. Confabulations arise, denial mechanisms rear their head (cognitive dissonance), and false rationalizations fill the void, but not because we’re vile liars. #Kontra?e, it’s because we are sincere story tellers caught-up in the throes of our delicious cognitive narratives. And what is the greatest confabulation of all? –Our sense of self. It’s just a story, like all the other stories that we tell ourselves: a jumble of assumptions that come together to distinguish this from that, you from other -an internal locus of control created by our narrative bias. Like George Miller wrote, “You don’t experience thinking; you experience the result of thinking.” But cognitive dissonance will almost always prevail, unless we have the perspicuity and inner-courage to question our beliefs to the nth degree. Self-interrogation is an effective method toward this end because it requires a “letting go” of cherished beliefs and the need to control reality, and instead ushers in an embracing of self-as-world and world-as-self which liberates us from the need for control. We become truly free to embrace the Great Mystery. Mystery is a place where spirituality and science meet. Dogma is a place where they part. Like psychologist Jonathan Haidt says, “Our minds unite us into teams, divide us against other teams, and blind us to the truth.” One way through this screw-tape of cognition is to rebel against the urge to pigeonhole ourselves into any particular persona or group. The art of self-interrogation is just such a rebellion, helping to reorient ourselves with the diversity of the cosmos by leveraging holistic thinking against biased thinking. Dogmatism wanes, extremism is dampened, and our comfort zones are stretched to encourage others to do the same, until we are all embracing inside one giant comfort zone that includes, rather than excludes, “the other.” Those who truly seek peace, who seek truth, do not separate themselves through belief, nationalism, or tradition. They do not belong to any religion, political party, or partial system; they are concerned only with the absolute understanding of the human condition. One way to transform black and white thinking into holistic thinking is to take things into consideration rather than believe in them. The art of self-interrogation is an example of this. If we can gain the ability to ruthlessly question ourselves, our worldviews, and our place in the greater cosmos, we are more likely to open up to others and to accept that we are a tiny part of a huge interconnected whole. An interconnected whole that, it goes without saying, should also be questioned to the nth degree. En la fino, our questioning is an opening, an opportunity, a sacred breech, a revelation of the ever deepening mystery of this magnanimous cosmos we call home.

Art of Self-RAZGOVORI: Propitivanje najvišeg stupnja "Biti u neznanju nečijeg neznanja je bolest od neznalica."-Amos Bronson Alcott Ako je povijest dokazala ništa, otkriva da su ljudska bića obično u krivu o svojim uvjerenjima. Puno ljudi vjeruje puno stvari koje se ispostavilo da su u krivu. Prije Kopernika, svijet vjeruje da su nebesa vrti oko Zemlje. Mere stoljeća prije toga, ljudi su vjerovali da je Zemlja ravna. Prije Einsteinove teorije relativnosti, ljudi su vjerovali da je vrijeme linearno, a neki još uvijek! Vjerovanje, ispada, je iznimno krhka stvar. "Istina" je skliska riba, i vrlo često crvena haringa. Treba posebno jedinstven tip mrežu kako bi se "uhvatiti" takav nedostižan riba kao istinu. Iako smo vrlo vješt u stvaranju svjetonazora mi smo nevjerojatno manje vješt u shvaćajući da smo ih napravili. I mi smo još manje vješt u shvaćajući da smo prianja na njih. Kao Noam Chomsky je rekao, "Opća populacija uopće ne zna što se događa, i to ni ne zna da ne zna. Uvjerenja ne mijenjaju činjenice, ali činjenice treba mijenjati uvjerenja. Problem je u tome što su gotovo uvijek oslobađajuća naši zaključci o našim uvjerenjima, čak u lice povijesnog nepostojanosti. Smiješno je što je: znamo da smo pogrešiva vrsta. Znamo da smo skloni griješiti. To je samo bolno teško priznati da to, posebno međusobno. Ono što nam je potrebno onda je nemilosrdna, ali učinkovita metoda pitanje našu percepciju stvarnosti. Vrsta propitivanja koje razbija sve do njegove orasima & vijci i onda razbija osim NUTS & vijci. Vrsta propitivanja koje kopa dolje u utrobu svijeta, a zatim secira maternicu. Vrsta propitivanja koje dobiva do same srži problema i onda rastavlja korijene. Ovaj tip ispitivanja je ono što se zove self-ispitivanje. To je "samo" za ispitivanje, jer bez obzira što smo u pitanje, mi smo jedan događaj i propitivanje. Mi smo hodanje paradoks, uzalud pokušavao riješiti sve paradoks. Evo stvar: većinu onoga što mislimo da je istina zapravo konfabulacija, proizveden memorije vjeruje da bi bilo istinito. Confabulations nisu istiniti, ali mozak ne zna da. Sve što zna je kulturno narativni. Ovo narativni pristranost, podržan od strane Veznik zabluda, dovodi do konfabulacija. No, bez tendencije da će to biti vrlo teško biti čovjek. Mi smo razvili, kao nesigurnu vrsta u zbunjujućem svijetu, ugraditi tu sposobnost kako bi preživio. Kao i David McRaney dosjetke, "Mozak pretvara kaos u red, tako da ne naletjeti na zidovima i pet škorpiona, ali na prvi znak nevolje, Prvi pojma o befuddlement, Vaši neuroni početak pucanja iz lažne jasnoću. "To lažno jasnoća je ono što drži naracija ide. Confabulations nastaju, Uskraćivanje mehanizmi stražnja njihova glava (kognitivna disonanca), i lažne racionalizacije popuniti prazninu, ali ne zato što smo vile lažljivci. Naprotiv, to je zato što smo iskrene akteri uhvaćen-up u bolovi od naših ukusnih kognitivnih pripovijesti. I što je najveća konfabulacija svega? -Naš osjećaj sebe. To je samo priča, kao i sve ostale priče koje smo sami sebi govorimo: zbrka pretpostavki koje dolaze zajedno kako razlikovati to od onoga, što od drugih -Interni lokus kontrole stvorili naši narativnom pristranosti. Kao i George Miller je napisao, "Vi ne doživljavamo razmišljanje; doživljavate rezultat razmišljanja. "No, kognitivna disonanca će gotovo uvijek prevladavaju, osim ako imamo prozračnost i unutrašnji hrabrosti da se preispituje svoja uvjerenja najvišeg stupnja. Self-Ispitivanje je učinkovita metoda prema ovom kraju, jer to zahtijeva "ste ići" od njeguju uvjerenja i potrebu da kontrolira stvarnost, i umjesto toga uvodi u prihvaćanja sebe kao-svijet i svijet-as-ja koji nas oslobađa od potrebe za kontrolom. Mi smo postali istinski slobodni da prihvate veliku tajnu. Misterija je mjesto gdje duhovnost i znanost susreću. Dogma je mjesto gdje su se rastati. Kao psiholog Jonathan Haidt kaže, "Naši umovi nas ujedini u timove, dijele nas protiv druge momčadi, i zaslijepiti nas do istine. Jedan od načina kroz ovaj navojnim snimci spoznaja je da se buni protiv poriva da se pretinac u nekoj određenoj osobi ili grupi. Umjetnost samo-ispitivanja je upravo takva pobuna, pomaže da se preorijentirati raznolikošću svemira iskorištavanjem holistički način razmišljanja protiv pristranog razmišljanja. Dogmatizam wanes, Ekstremizam je namočenom, i naša utjeha zone se pruži potaknuti druge da učine isto, dok svi ne prihvaćaju unutar jedne udobnosti div zoni koja uključuje, a ne isključuje, “drugi.” Oni koji istinski traže mir, koji traže istinu, ne mogu odvojiti kroz vjeru, nacionalizam, ili tradicije. Oni ne pripadaju niti jednoj religiji, politička stranka, ili djelomična sustav; su u pitanju samo s apsolutnom razumijevanja ljudskog stanja. Jedan način da se pretvoriti crno-bijelo razmišljanje u holističkom razmišljanja je da se stvari u obzir, a ne vjerujem u njih. Umjetnost samo-ispitivanja je primjer za to. Ako možemo steći sposobnost da nemilosrdno se ispituje, Naši svjetonazori, i naše mjesto u svemiru veće, mi smo više vjerojatno da će se otvoriti prema drugima i prihvatiti da smo maleni dio ogromne međusobno povezanih cjelina. Interkonekciji cjelina koja, to ide bez rekavši, također trebali biti ispitani do n-tog stupnja. In the end, naša propitivanja je otvaranje, Prilika, sveta zadak, otkrivenje sve veću otajstvu Ovaj uzvišeni svemiru nazivamo dom. Izvor slike: Komentari Great piece and timely, previše.
