with most people, enabling them to access their full cognitive resources for interacting with the world is mostly a matter of enticing those resources out of the profound dissociation that the routine social practice of interpersonal torture has driven them into

interpersonal torture: the easy and overwhelmingly dispositive example is public schooling
-
ah, by 'social practice' i thought you mean, like, interpersonal practices, that makes more sense now
-
so, if I can unravel the earlier wordsalad, your contention is that among the aftereffects of Living In A Society(tm) is reduced access to innate cognitive resources?
-
yes you have quite a threshold for "wordsalad"
-
for reference, here is the original tweet as actual word salad:

that makes about as much sense as the original sure
-
this is actually pissing me off at this point

I would just call that 'distraction', dissociation is something else again
-
it isn't the point is at the interconnects neural subsystems are oriented inward, toward inhibiting input — because input has hurt too much — instead of cooperating
-
what
-
there is a lot of stuff going on in different parts of your brain all the time, in subsystems that came factory installed and subsystems that assembled themselves for particular purposes later these subsystems communicate with each other to a greater or lesser degree
-
this degree is changeable, and when it changes downward the mechanism is neural inhibition, which is basically like turning down the volume on a neural connection like turning down the volume on a radio dissociation involves subsystems becoming more isolated
-
generally because non-isolation is intolerable integrative changes move in the other direction a repetitive noise from outside interrupting your attention is the kind of thing i would call "distraction"; subsystems just doing their own thing isn't that
