Challenging one another’s thinking?

In life, what are we to do at points of difference? All those inevitable places where our thoughts, experiences, ideas or conclusions diverge and a vast chasm might emerge between us and our perceptions of reality. Hasn’t it always been one of life’s challenges: who controls the thoughts we have in mind, the way we might voice them, or the paths down which they might lead.

Sometimes it seems life truly is accompanied by our thoughts about it – by all humans are going along with, buying into or carrying forward into that future we create through our participation. It can’t be without consequence, all that we choose to believe, act upon or defend in conversation with our peers. Isn’t it all an empowerment? An affirmation, condonement or encouragement of any given way of thinking. (Notes One)

Yet it’s also true that we live in such divided realities where – within as much as between our many countries – life simply isn’t the same for everyone. Doesn’t the world turn quite a different face to us all? Based on our background, our physical appearance or health, our personality, our innate talents or difficulties, our economic circumstances, or countless other potential labels we might be applying to one another.

How, then, are we to stand around that one reality and expect to have one conversation about it? It seems to be what we’re pushing for: for there to be one set of thoughts, one interpretation of what things mean and how much they matter. But won’t we all see things differently? Life having brought different aspects of itself to our attention as we’re each naturally drawn toward our own priorities or concerns. (Notes Two)

Sometimes it just seems we’re attempting to have that one big conversation, all at once, based on the model of the argument: each party trying to convince all others that their particular concerns matter “most”. As if there has to be a winner, somehow, in how our thoughts and words track alongside reality. As if we’re all simply to group together with those thinking like us in order to fight some global battle in the realm of ideas.

Not to say we shouldn’t challenge illogical, careless or dangerous thinking, but how exactly is this conversation to go for the best? The ideal of raising awareness around what life’s like for us all and all those situations our choices, words or attitudes play into – this picture of global awakening, as we realise the scope our thoughts and behaviours have in this deconstructed, interconnected world – seems so important. (Notes Three)

The world of ideals seems so much simpler than the messiness of reality, though. How easy is it to put yourself in another’s shoes, grasp life through their mind, and care enough to alter our views in light of theirs? This idea of humans, in all our diversity, standing around reality and simultaneously reflecting it in thought that respectfully accommodates everyone just doesn’t seem as easy as we might hope to imagine.

The trauma of ignorance

What’s it like to not know something? To genuinely not understand or have realised the importance of some particular fact, concept, theory or way of thinking about life or any of the many things filling it. Because, how can we know what we don’t? If we’ve not bound any given piece of knowledge to self, presumably we just don’t have it – it’s not “there” in our worldview or frame for grasping reality.

And, of all the pieces of information flying at us each day, how are we to know which to hold to? While many of them come thickly coated with promises, threats, expectations or other forms of pressure, it’s still challenging to filter out all the truly reliable and essential while letting what’s non-essential fall away. Constantly determining how much everything matters seems inherently stressful. (Notes One)

Even if we manage to capture all the essentials, don’t we also need to combine them into a cohesive picture? Find the right balance, the right juxtaposition between the injunctions of society, family, culture, peers and community. This idea that various forms of knowledge have to live alongside one another – their edges blurring, breaking or bending to allow space for all life’s messy complexities.

If humans exist in a world of thought and make thoughts their own, the idea of what we take in and what comes of it seems intriguing (Notes Two). How many of us have entirely correct sets of ideas in mind? Fully aware of absolutely everything; having thought out the implications, origins, perspectives and intentions behind it all. In today’s blending world it’s seeming fairly unlikely.

Isn’t it much more likely we’re all living with some level of ignorance alongside many areas of insight and expertise? All those things we might simply be unaware of; our life never having brought them meaningfully to our attention. All we may not have seen the full significance of, for one reason or another. Aren’t the chances quite high that we all have “gaps” or misfiled, poorly defined pieces of information?

Given the nature of modern life, with all its voices talking at once, the idea of ignoring what “needs” to be ignored while taking in all we sorely need to know sometimes seems an impossible challenge. That we’re somehow needing to select between all we see – and, all it seems to mean – to update our evolving picture of all that life is. (Notes Three)

Not to say ignorance is acceptable; clearly, it’s risky for self and society in many important ways. But how are we to live alongside it? How are we to stand confidently in our knowledge, knowing it’s probably incomplete? How are we to manage that shaky trauma of realising what you didn’t know and wondering how you lived without it? How do we trust ourselves or others, knowing we’ve good reason to doubt?

Almost as if we’re needing some form of ongoing re-education or dialogue, to flesh out a fuller understanding of life without tearing ourselves to pieces.

Respectful engagement with reality

Is there a way we could stand within reality in full respect of all that’s a part of it? Each thing being allowed its space, its right to be what it is and live whatever life it needs to be living. As if everything could somehow coexist without this need to divide it up with competing interests. Or do we simply “have” to make certain priorities more important in order to justify pushing ahead at the cost of other concerns?

Maybe it’s just that “everything” has the desire to grow? To flourish, develop, expand and be recognised for the value it brings. Each living thing tending to want to thrive or survive by getting what it needs. Life, then, becoming carved apart by the battlelines of different beings sharing the same space, seeking the same limited resources or opportunities.

This sense in which we’re forever seeing one another as different – as competitors we must somehow push back so we’re free to take whatever it is we want. Isn’t it a strange mindset? Given we could’ve decided to see others as allies or respect them as individuals with just as much right to see life their way and make their own choices. Sometimes it just seems the ideas we apply to life might be causing a lot of problems.

Although maybe it’s only natural we see things from our own perspective? That we would see life through our own ideas, passing judgements in light of them as they lead us toward their often-inevitable conclusions. How are we ever to gain a perspective that lets “our” ideas sit by “theirs” without seeking for one version to be proved right? As if the versions of reality we each have in mind might be mutually exclusive.

Given our interests compete, maybe it’s natural that our ideas will? That we’ll seek to justify whatever path it is that benefits “us” by assuring a safer, more profitable future. This inclination – from the personal all the way to the global – toward seeing any advantage to one as a detriment to another. As if life’s destined to be this picture of everyone jostling for position.

Isn’t it fundamentally a picture of conflict? This desire for more, and for others to have less, in a constant battle over how we will move forward as a body of humanity. Seeing life that way, won’t we seek to discredit others or convince ourselves their experiences matter less than ours? As if we can’t admit to them being equal and deserving just as much respect as whichever group it is we’ve identified ourselves with.

What I think I’m trying to say is, is this the only way to approach things? Deciding that one perspective has to win and naturally believing it must be ours, for the sake of our own survival. It just seems so strangely aggressive and unaccommodating, so dismissive and uncooperative. Do we really need all these dividing lines, or could life work differently if we started approaching it differently?

Intelligence, wisdom & common sense

Seeing life as a path of binding knowledge to self then using it to navigate our environment, how are we to view all the information currently surrounding us? All the many ways of thinking assailing us with theories or perspectives we might take up, leading us in various directions along often diverging paths. These different forms of knowledge we could embrace.

Who’s to say which is best? Don’t they simply create a different reality? The ideas we accept becoming the path we walk, the choices we make, the realities we uphold or chip away at through our lack of belief in their importance. Each person perhaps building their own reality within our collective one out of all those things they’re seeing as worthwhile or beneficial.

As humans standing within complex realities, perhaps it’s understandable we tie things together in different ways? Various shades of meaning emerging over the years as ideas hold sway before merging to become something else in this constant cross-pollination of thought. Words evolving and taking on new significance as people pick them up and relate them to altered situations.

Each society perhaps having its own distinct body of ideas it hopes to pass on – imparting all it feels to be essential for maintaining its way of life through the understanding of its members. All the conventions, attitudes, convictions and practices that together make up a culture and means of existing alongside others in workable harmony.

Isn’t part of that building up the picture of how it all comes together? All the details of our personal and social lives feeding into the collective realities woven throughout all our lives – everything we do mattering for where it fits within the larger context. Surely nothing we do really falls down the cracks into a place with no consequences? It’s all part of this broader sense of “what life is” and “how we sustain it”.

How, then, are we to place ourselves within reality? We could map it out logically and systemically with that kind of prized and valuable thinking currently reworking our lives through technology: everything broken down into its component parts, lines of causality clearly drawn, leading us toward expected and foreseeable conclusions. This idea that realities can be confidently, knowingly managed that way.

We could just adopt whatever train of thought is generally accepted and acted on – going along with prevailing opinion in whatever direction it happens to be headed. This idea that communities need to think alike and share their basic assumptions if collective life is to run along smoothly, predictably, reliably, and without any unnecessary conflict. That society might simply be asking us to agree.

Alternatively, might we not stand more actively in our knowledge? Seeing not only what society thinks and how those ideas arose, but also how that relates to our choices and their consequences. As if “being human” might mean to fully understand our lives for what they are and exactly how much all we do matters in the broadest possible sense.

Risk in spinning wild theories?

Out of all we might think about life, how much does it matter what we choose to believe? Our minds being where we each create our own framework for reality, it must make quite a difference which things we let in and build our lives upon. Culture being, perhaps, that set of ideas with which we interpret, judge and respond to the world – the overarching backdrop for our existence.

It must add up? All the theories, facts, doubts, certainties, convictions and assumptions we’re using to approach our daily lives and all the choices, actions and conversations that fill them. Our fundamental worldview being that lens through which we’re understanding all we see and determining our responses within it; this repository of all our working definitions and the spectrum of options we feel are appropriate.

Aren’t our ideas on life pooling every day, in various ways? Coming together through economic systems, consumer decisions, social interactions, attitudes, gestures and words. Each person bringing their sense of meaning and worth to every single thing that they’re doing in this vast, free-flowing dance between countless individuals spanning our increasingly connected world.

Sometimes it seems quite staggering: the interconnectedness of modern life and difficulty in separating all the distinct bodies of thought converging on any moment. This sense in which we’re often now all talking at once, attempting to discuss everything from every angle within this one conversation. As if the world’s awareness is striving to expand to the point of matching our new global realities.

In that, aren’t we being untethered from earlier, more limited perspectives? Abandoning the neat little insular stories that could previously unite communities around “their” version of events to find our way into something that can somehow accommodate “other” takes on the same situations. This strangely complicated need to allow differing perspectives within one space.

Yet, despite all that, our ideas must still be filtering out into the realities we share? Into the content of our conversations and nature of our interactions as our beliefs or concerns spill over into our responses. Everyone’s daily lives filled with the evidence of how others are seeing things and the consequences their choices created.

Almost as if, untethered from those earlier more commonly held narratives, we’re all free to live within whatever version of reality we choose to believe. Our minds being distinctly our responsibility, it seems entirely possible people could reach the point of living in quite different worlds: interpreting the same events in significantly different ways, stringing them together with a wildly different sense of what it all means.

With thought, can’t we take a few strange turns and end up trapped? Suggestions accepted becoming the walls of our prisons as we struggle to find our way back to what life was before we saw it that way – reality, naturally, having distorted to “fit” our new ideas about it. Given how much our ideas inform our approach to reality, don’t we have to be quite careful over what we let in?

Getting around things

How often in life are we simply trying to find ways around things? Looking for how to achieve our aims or overcome what stands in our way. The human mind forever reading its surroundings and seeking its most rewarding path forward. Is that how we meet the world? Seeing it all from our perspective and identifying ways “we” might manifest our desires.

Maybe the mind simply “reads” any system or situation – as a board game – to find its best options: weighing the benefit of any given strategy and the likelihood of getting caught. That, as thinking beings, we naturally apply ourselves to understanding our position, what we can do and how it might help. Flowing like water against any attempt to restrict us; finding the points where our interests might somehow prevail.

Isn’t it destined to bring us into conflict wherever those interests converge? All those moments where we take, say or do something that impacts others or limits their opportunities. This sense of life as this perpetual dance of give and take as our needs and capacities “meet” in the complex interactions of society – all sharing space, resources, and whatever hand we were dealt.

In its way, isn’t society all about the systems, conventions, laws and obligations tying us together? This attempt to put guidelines in place that let us freely interact within the limits of a common agreement. The restriction which needs to be there if we’re not to live lives of perpetual conflict, violence and aggression. Isn’t that the point of it all? To help delineate the circumstances within which we might harmoniously coexist.

What happens, then, if we approach “society” as something to get around? Straining against its wisdom; testing the limits of others’ patience; creating all this tension, anger or stress as individuals pull against what’s aiming to unite us. Almost this picture of community as a cage or leash we’re hoping to be free of – resenting the fact our existence is tethered to others.

Is it the best way to think of society? As a personal trap we seek to escape; a series of obstacles we must find ways around to secure whatever we want. That, restrictions only existing to thwart us and benefit others, we “should” simply pursue our own interests. Maybe, though, society’s counting on self-interest as our drive for social engagement.

Not to say societies necessarily embody perfect wisdom – that there’s not an indispensable, ongoing conversation to be had – but as a basic gesture, why is it we tend to approach limits as something to overcome? What does it “do” to society if that’s how we relate ourselves to its restrictions? If, our own plans and desires looming that much larger than anyone else’s, we rail against anything curbing “our” personal freedom.

Is it that, once written, rules effectively change the game as we play against them? Or, that alongside it all we need some form of compelling vision that’s inspiring us to limit ourselves for the sake of something greater.

Acclimatisation to a world of meaning

As humans, is it simply that we’re born into the world as it stands? Absorbed into this world of thought manifest through the systems we stand within and ideas being spun around it. All this nested meaning which we take in, make our own and move forward one way or another. As if life’s simply this world of thoughts and their consequences, working themselves out through us, as the environment we’ve all stepped into.

This sense in which we, as thinking beings, arrive in a world we might try to understand – a world that asks we take it up in thought, accept its ideas and structure our lives within it. How can we do otherwise? If thought’s in our nature it must mean we would apply it in how we live our lives, individually as much as collectively. That “being human” might mean living from the level of thought.

Don’t we find meaning through social relationships, artefacts and infrastructure? All the details of our lives somehow conveying to us the sense of how “we” feel it best to be living – the values, priorities, activities, conversations deemed worthwhile in sustaining what’s needed from either the personal or communal level. “What life is” speaking to us out of all that we do.

Almost as if “that” is the picture we build in our minds: all the details of everyday life, culture and the media melding into a shared sense of what life’s about and all that matters within our community. That, in thought, everything converges to form our understanding of what it is to be human and all the functions sustaining our lives. Isn’t it all necessary? All part and parcel of fulfilling genuine human needs.

It seems such an intriguing picture: that we would all be born into a world of ideas we take up and make our own. That, the world over, we’re all absorbed into various interlocking worlds of meaning that increasingly jut against one another, jostling for space. That to be human is, perhaps, to be acclimatised to a certain way of thinking about reality – one of many distinct configurations of “how to live”.

On the small scale, perhaps our ideas would match the location in which the details of our lives played out, creating a tangible picture reflected in the mind of each individual. These days, it’s all become so vast, so hidden and deconstructed, that the idea of piecing together a realistic sense of “what life is” sometimes seems impossible – as if we live in a world of strangers, unable to see what we mean to each other.

Still, there must be a delicate balance within it all? That reciprocal relationship between all we do and how it affects others – the meaning of our actions. Isn’t that, in a way, what life “is”? Understanding, in thought, all that we’re doing and all that it means. Seeing all the ways our personal needs or desires come together in this collective network spanning all the spaces between us.

Relationships & our place in life

In life, it must be that things are shaped, in large part, by our relationships: by all that comes to meet us and how we, in turn, take our place in relation to it all. This sense in which we’re “met” by our environment, our community, all those around us, and the ideas informing their thinking – everything washing over us until we pin it down into some semblance of order, meaning, identity or purpose.

Isn’t it what we do? Create meaning. Take all we see, assign it its place, then chart our course within reality as we came to see it. All the ideas we were handed shaping our interpretations of things; what they’re worth; why they matter. As if we’re all just woven into this world – our human connections, place within society as it currently exists, and grasp of the thinking that’s pervading our way of life.

And maybe that’s always been the case: that humans arrive on the scene within the context of their family, their place of origin, their plusses and their minuses. Each individual emerging “somewhere” with their personalities, outlooks, priorities and interests. The uniqueness of each person somehow blending with the situation into which they were placed through no seeming choice or merit of their own.

How is it that we form our relationship to it all, deciding which things we’ll hold to and which we’ll let fall away? This fundamental acceptance or rejection of what’s presented that comes to form our own set of feelings, conclusions and choices. As if, in youth, life passes before us and we decide what we’ll think about it and which paths we’ll take.

Effectively then standing in relationship to all that’s around us: our past and its formative forces; our judgements or preconceptions about those we’ll meet; our awareness of society and its mechanisms; our overarching sense of what life is. Woven so tightly into our own experiences and sense of personal identity or worth, tending to see the world in light of how it affects us – refracting reality through that lens.

The thought of all we’re born into seems so interesting: all the ideas and all the systems that engulf us. That we all exist “somewhere” within it all, facing all the obstacles or opportunities that creates and all the positive or negative judgements turned toward us. As if we’re all tangled in this web of ideas and web of realities with which humanity’s divided up the planet.

In many ways, it seems true that we stand in relationship to every other being: that lines could be drawn between each one of us and between us and all the “resources” of nature. These connections of meaning, recognition, value and respect that are established, one way or another, between “us” and everything that’s making up our existence

Within modern life, how clear are those relationships? Beyond the tangibly visible communities of our recent past, how can we weave together a meaningful sense for all our lives now are?

Who can we turn to?

With everything that’s going on in life – all we’re involved with or asked to become aware of – where are we to turn for a reasonable and honest yet empowering sense of where we stand and what we can do? While there are clearly many, many voices out there hoping we’d lean on them as our trusted source of information, who exactly “are” those voices and where might their advice be leading?

Asking that, the inference must be that people have an agenda – a position, interpretation or perspective they’re hoping we’ll take up as our own defining worldview. As if everyone’s already moved a few steps away from raw, unvarnished “reality” to offer, instead, their view of it and conclusions over the paths we should walk within this vast landscape of options.

Maybe we’re simply supposed to choose? Select from the offerings of media, industry, individuals or tribes those we’ll let inform the ideas we have in mind and steps we’re likely to take. As if this world’s now carved up by these theories spun around it: the basic camps and various sub-groups we each found our way into and may struggle to leave.

What’s behind it all? These bodies of thought that spread their tendrils through our intellectual space suggesting how we might view things and the overarching picture into which we should be slotting our facts. What kind of reality are people hoping to usher in instead of this one? Which principles, starting points or values form the foundation for their thinking?

Viewing these voices as akin to beacons guiding our path or lighting our way, what are we allowing power over us? Telling us what we’re seeing and how we should see it seem incredibly powerful functions within groups of humans endowed with the capacity for thought. Aren’t our minds, our ideas, the frame through which we view and respond to life? The vehicle for our freedom, perhaps.

And, in that bigger picture, how many are concerned more for our personal experiences than for the collective realities we’re effectively helping create? It seems incredible how much life’s been deconstructed into these basic, individual building blocks many are vying to influence in order to bring their visions to life – the overwhelming, stressful complexity of it all.

Given so much seems commercially driven – and, that the complicated nuance of truth may not sell as well as audacious, fear-inducing lies – might it be that our understanding of reality isn’t what we might hope? Within it all, how often are voices genuinely motivated by humanity’s wellbeing rather than having something to gain or to sell?

Behind whatever masks any given voice might be wearing, how are we to discern where to place our trust? Somehow holding back in the face of this insistent confusion and finding strength to judge for ourselves what’s going on here. Because, if reality’s overly carved up, could we not position ourselves to heal those divisions with a more expansive worldview instead of exacerbating whatever problems we inherited?

Uniting us through a world of fantasy

What is it we’re doing in imagining things that aren’t quite true yet bear a startling resemblance to reality? All these stories, characters or worlds we take in, go along with and make part of our lives. Almost this whole other realm existing around our heads, peopling our minds with concerns and emotions that aren’t quite our own.

There must be a purpose to it, given how it tends to be one of the hallmarks of civilisation: the tales we tell to symbolise, inspire or remind us where we’re from and what should matter. As if “to be human” means to have an overarching storyline in mind that unites us with community and sets us on good paths. As if we “need” the narrative, the compelling vision of what life is or could be.

Where such stories come from may be impossible to answer – the history behind all these strange and magical tales that grew up around humanity, filling its souls with belief in the value of their existence and the potential for their development. What we believe seems such a powerful thing: the lens through which we’re interpreting reality and options we feel able to offer in response. (Notes One)

Sometimes it seems that “what fills people’s minds” is truly where the future lies. That colouring our perceptions in a certain light might effectively serve in bringing that vision to life as our thoughts and responses filter through into society each day. All these subtle assumptions or conclusions about anything’s value, worth or significance.

Seeing “our world” represented through culture – taken into that world of fantasy to be safely worked through for our observation – seems such an interesting process. That we might listen, watch, read, and have such content brought to life through our perceptions and imagination, just as reality itself makes its ways into our minds, thoughts and beliefs. An alternative, symbolic reality we might learn from.

What are we to make of it? Are we to identify fully, crafting our life or self around its suggestions? Does it simply wash over us, filling our souls with fear, judgement, relief or powerlessness? Should we hold this at arm’s length to reflect on what it’s offering before deciding what our real-world response should be? The individual interaction with culture seems fascinating.

At times, it seems like a world filled with reflections, reference points or representations; a place we might look to understand ourselves, our world, our choices and their consequences (Notes Two). Perhaps a place that seeks to weave together past and future, drawing those threads into this present moment where we decide what we’ll do – our understanding and our hope forging paths we then walk.

It just seems such a powerful thing, this gateway into the human mind. What we make of it and where it might lead can seem deeply significant: much as this could unite us all through compelling visions, it must also have the potential to divide us up into realities of our own making.
