The 'psycho-social relationships' between the individual, the group of individuals, and the 'space of interaction' are complex and shape each other. (This is not dissimilar to relationships between objective:subjective:intersubjective) 3

When an individual abandons critical thinking, some of the worst human traits take over: diligent practice is replaced by a sort of mentalism supported by dogma, and you know how the rest goes. 4

It's clear to anyone that critical thinking is by no means sufficient for human fulfilment, well being, growth, and all that good stuff. 5

However when people actively reject cynicism & analysis - which isn't all that uncommon in 'spiritual' types - forces hidden to them shape their worldview & behaviour, which necessarily remain unseen until such a time that they're willing to think and look at their world. 6

It should be clear that critical thinking is one of many factors: one can be very very smart and still be an empty vessel being ridden around by an ideological parasite, a mimetic puppet master, so to speak. 7

Whilst very limited, thinking/analysis is necessary to the degree that we can see some of the psycho-social forces at play, some of the more visible tensions pulling our being into & out of cohesion in relationship to the human-interaction spheres which we interpenetrate with. 8

I've been going through this thing where I've seemingly lost access to a chunk of cognitive capacity: to think and communicate clearly. I tweeted about this some time ago. This sucks, but that's life. I'm lucky in many other ways. 9

I relate to this experience. Fwiw, I find it symptomatic and a sign of transition. Emerging, competing proto-ideas mess with top level clarity.

That's interesting. I may have to pick your brain on this some time, if you'd be willing to share more.

For sure! I may not have clear answers, but happy to pick apart my own processes any time. I spend much time in learning space: the cycle of cognitive obfuscation-growth-revelation is really familiar. (In fact, am more confident in that process as natural and inevitable, now)>

>and the communication difficulty is maybe not so frustrating as it used to be due to familiarity with the process.
