Thank you for acknowledging that there are a lot of our mental lives that is not primarily under the control of our reason. I think it opens the discussion to the spectrum of individual psychological variability. A much needed discussion as apparently some people can't fathom how other persons could differ from how they themselves function.
- luckylion 6y agoI'm convinced that recognizing that variability will be the next big step. It feels like we're currently between ignorance and fetishizing it. I look forward to the day where it becomes more normal, not only because I find it fascinating, but because I deeply believe that a lot of conflict is based on not understand that other people are fundamentally different from ourselves and then applying our framework to their actions and judging accordingly. I have no idea how we'll arrive at that though.
