i start waxing philosophical about this and that.
here’s a quote from today’s reading from leadership and the new science: discovering order in a chaotic world
“Fragmentation is now very widespread. Not only through society but also in each individual, this leading to a kind of general confusion of the mind, which creates an endless series of problems and interferes with our clarity of perception so seriously as to prevent us from being able to solve most of them. The notion that all these fragments is separately existent is evidently an illusion, and this illusion cannot do other than lead to endless conflict and confusion. ”

whaddya think?

I am too distracted to think about it right now… just too much going on!
Simplify! It’s like a math problem where you can cancel out the zeros, move the decimal point, find commonalities, etc. Or…it’s like a physics problem where you assume you’re in a vacuum, ignore friction, operate at STP, etc.
In computer land, use a hard disk drive as an example of being fragmented. Even after defragmentation, a small percentage is STILL disjoint.
The question is…what sort of fragmentation in the individual is David Bohm referring? The mind, thoughts, rash decisions, dreams…?
I think: It’s true- Chris *does* love using analogies!
🙂
i think is was more just general fragmentation of ourselves. we try and keep everything separated but it’s just not supposed to work that way.
i can’t think of a great example right now and i don’t feel like getting my book to reread and refresh my memory. maybe when i’m doing homework again…
I can’t get over the improper use of the word “is” in the last sentence.
As for the substance, I can’t seem to de-abstract his assertion enough to comment. Maybe if fragmentation were defined, that would help.
