New thinking

My research was on ‘deep framing’ … but as I progressed, I realise that much of this came down to questions like, how do we ‘know’ things? How do we experience ‘existing’ or ‘being in the world’?

These questions, I realised were actually philosophical questions… but dressed up in modern era language of social science…and neuroscience… 

Philosophical terms:

Ontology – the study of ‘being’ and ‘sense of existence’

Epistemology – how we come to ‘know’ something….

Philosophy to the rescue? 

I came to realise that philosophy was important to reach Destination Safe Earth, but not philosophy as you might imagine...

Something only elite, specialist people consider…

...like those who have spent decades analysing books by Ancient Greeks.

No, not like that at all… I’m talking about philosophy… that the average person in the street, in the supermarket, or working as a plumber could be involved in…

Me? Philosophy? You’ve got to be joking?

I didn’t even finish high school, no way….


Well, things aren’t looking good, maybe the average person needs to start getting involved?

My own journey into this field...

was like being given a new software package in my brain...

It was uncomfortable at first…

 

But then a strange thing happened...

Suddenly I could see all sorts of new solutions…

 

Each ‘concept’

was like a tool

that did

something unique…

It was like wearing a new set of glasses…


I wondered what would happen if other people put on these glasses…

 

What would they see?

I’ll be introducing these new conceptual ‘tools’ and ‘software  packages ’ gradually…

 

 

Stay tuned…
