I look at them as symbolic configurations and I'm wondering if life is possible at all without symbols. That brings us to the other point you've raised about 'truth'. And I'm thinking about truth being simply about a relationship unique to symbols and experience. Such that truth must be a condition of belief... Life is not possible without beliefs or symbols as you call them How will evil and good look like, how will success look like,how will growth look like without symbols? All these require symbols/belief of how the ideal outcome should look like If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Tycho, Sire,
Increase in inter-connectedness has resulted to increase in conflict. The Aborigines of Australia lived in 'peace' until travelling Europeans arrived. Despite injecting themselves into Aborigine lands they maintained their prejudice and almost exterminated them. Same with the 'Indians' of America. The prognosis and reality is that turbulence, conflict, bigotry, narrow-mindedness will continue to be a part of this world. Because of inter-connectedness.

I don't dispute that interconnectedness is related to increase in conflict. What I'm wondering is whether interconnectedness is avoidable.

I see where you get lost! when you travel in large numbers you carry your culture with you ... this does not help since you just change locality! Travelling in small numbers and being EMBEDDED is key! All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

What's a cognitive bias? How about 'thoughtful reasoning'? Can 'cognitive bias' and 'thoughtful reason' coexist? When I think about these expressions, what meaning do I impose on them? Or do they have inherent meaning? I'm afraid we seem to take so much for granted.
