The plague of the shattered ego

It seems like mainstream media, and people paying for it, is very set in it tracks when it comes to dividing issues, disciplines, words and so on. An example of this is: Think about how the knowledge of words are made into a set object in the minds of people with a mind in this way. A person is said to "To know many words" or to have "A big stoorage of words" at hand. As if words are a thing, a mold you bring forth and apply to the physical world around you. Its a very specific epistemological standpoint, meaning to think thats what words are is by no means self evident in any way. Basic, popularized version of Jean Piaget sets him in this camp. I think he himself would have a lot to say about it, especially when we regard he was one of the 20th centuries most prolific writers.

Anyway, i think that the modern propensity for dividing what ever it is that is under scrutiny, into say politics, economy and law directs how people understand the world. I was struck by the weight and importance of this as i was at a party couple of weeks ago and talked to an old friend who is quite set in these ways of division. He found it odd that i jumped between issues. I didnt think that was what i was doing.

Think about it this way: Any complex process has subprocesses. In a world that divides things, if you examine the say monetary economic aspect of something, you will say something about only that. And then if you talk about something from a religious standpoint, you will say something quite different about, yet what is at its core in both cases is part of the same process. So then, a divided way of perception has great difficulty in saying something about the process, since it can only lift one little detail into light and say a few words about it, then forget that and move on to the next. I dont think thats a good way to wisdom. But then on the other hand, wisdom was never the goal of media, education and state affairs. These things are rather apparatus of the elite to control the masses.

This of course seeps into such a thing at the, let me say shredded, destroyed and forgotten political debate. I should not go into that very far since it only makes me sick to my stomach. But sufficed to say, the division of left/right is an over 200 year old idiotic division. I can see how there is a great divide between market economy and a centrally planned economy. Since they are both, in practice built on religious fervor, insanity, oppression and fascism, neither is very important at all.
