discussions about the mode of being whether or not there is a difference between people who are acting good vs evil a rough generalization, i know but this extends from a discussion about collectivist thinking where we observe collective behaviour from persons who join in dehumanizing others in calling for the death or celebrating the suffering of someone beyond mere schadenfraude, but to actually hate on the person's life and wish for them to incur physical discomfort threatening their ability to retain health their ability to remain alive their ability to continue breathing how do we resolve this? how do we begin to understand what can not only cause a person to wish for the pain and suffering from another but for this to manifest as a collective phenomenon first it does seem that there is something to be said for the manner in which one initiates collectivist thinking as a being, existing in a field of possibility with observable objects traversible dimensions a constantly moving dimension for whic hhtere is no ability to affect it and a means of transport/transformation (of energy/information/matter etc) as one exists in such a reality, there is one thing which is constant in the perceptual frame and that is perception itself the field of perception is not only available to be observed but in all conscious moments, it is being perceived and this cannot be discontinued in the case of the biological organisms that we understand which are like us these organisms perceive along the lines of senses, and one which we associate as being a universal pinnacle of perception is the visual perception as this occurs through the organs weknow as eyes, we come to be familiar with acuity and focus and that this is something which can be done explicitly but when it is not done explicitly, the perception is still occurring but it might be out of focus, or it mgith be uch taht the point of focus is in freefall, evershifting, never settling for long enough such that the organism can be resolvingly aware of a particular focal point
the more things there are to observe, the more difficult it becomes to make a determination as to what should be observed so there can be different modalities in terms of how this is being consolidated it can be facilitated, such that the faculty of focus is being pursued, and that makes for a specific goal which can be met, within reason, by a standard such as the belief that a particular focal point is being observed to a sufficient degree of clarity and acuity that it can be understood as having been analyzed and that the appearance of that focal point, or the object which is associated with it, is more predictable than it was before if there are too many unknowns in the system the experience's perception could be said to be moving along the lines of a scale in terms of how much is explicit observation and how much is chaotic that there can be an impetus against committing to make a focused observation, one could say that the being's faculty of perception is moved towards a greatear degree of free-call free-fall as this occurs, it becomes more imperative for the organism to seek changes which will reduce the complexity of the perceptual frame, and allow for the being to make a choice about action and focus which is less edxpensive to make, at a cost of being less able to perceive the unexpected exit
The manner of thought which one could associate as "collectivist thinking" is perfectly rational for a conscious biological organism capable of socialization. The being exists in a field of possibilities, observable objects, traversible dimensions, and a constantly moing dimension for which there is no ability to affect it.
The mind attempts to identify a means of transport, makes note of observed transformations (energy, information, matter), as one exists in such a reality. Throughout this, there is one constant: the perceptual frame. Perception itself, the field of perception, is not only available to be observed, but it is being perceived in all conscious moments and cannot be discontinued.
The biological organism becomes intuitively accustomed to preventing challenges to its existence. Organisms perceive along sensorial lines, with one seemingly taking primacy over all the others - the universal pinnacle of perception is visual perception, as this occurs through the organs we know as eyes. We come to by familiar with acuity and focus, and this is something which can be done explicitly, but it is also even when not explicit. This can appear as a loss of focus, or an ever-moving and shifting focal point, never settling for long enough such that the organism can resolvingly become aware of a particular focal point.
Focal Points
One must consider whether the evolutionarily sought visual processing behaviours, or behaviours governed and modified by visual processing and awareness of physical dimensions, and examine the way in which being capable of visual processing lends itself to consciousness. What is it about the human experience, or ape experience, that benefits from focus more than other variations of visual processing, such as that of avians.
It is the all in the hunt.
