Being aware of recontextualization is one example of big picture thinking, so you're already doing it. The more you zoom out to the bigger picture, the more complex things become, and the less black-and-white it becomes. Thinking big picture is about having the courage to detach yourself from the safe, simplistic, tried-and-tested models and accept uncertainty. It's about going from analysis to synthesis, fragmentation to integration, singular to plural, dichotomy to gradation. Why it is important is because it can solve the problem of getting stuck in one way of seeing things, making you able to see outside of that perspective and seek correspondance with adjacent perspectives. It's about being flexible and being able to jump between different modes of thinking, cross-test different solutions, create hybrids or innovate completely new methods. It's highly linked to the Big 5 trait of Openness, creativity, low latent inhibition, thought connectivity etc. Basically all the revolutionary thinkers and theorists from history were gifted big picture thinkers.

+1 This is what is meant by the importance of integrating Blue when doing spiritual work, ie. not staying a teenage stoner trapped in hedonistic/chaotic/aimless Red. I'm also speaking directly from experience as you are.

Uh yes

No.

True, but stating that changes nothing. To expect that it does is just a form of absolute-relative conflation (which is nothing new on this forum). There is no reason to invoke The Absolute perspective in a conversation about relative matters (unless it's actually warranted) and expect that it changes anything or that it is in any way relevant to what humans ought to do in any given situation. The Absolute doesn't negate the relative.

But you are a starfish, so I bet you wouldn't like being killed off by pollution of the seabed.

Humanity is the only disease humans aren't vaccinating for

Ok. What is that?

If your idea of average is 1.16% of the population, then sure.

...wha??

Letting a hyper-contagious virus spread freely in the population and allowing it the possibility to mutate into a hyper-lethal variant is more analogous to removing breaks from all cars.

Solution: get a dog.

Jordan Peterson isn't the main attraction here btw. Reality is ridiculous.

Try quitting THC for a year and see if you still call yourself awake.

Smear of Cringekad.

Yes

@Tancrede Pouyat Exactly ?

"Rather than say 'this note is good' and 'this note is bad', it's more 'this note hasn't found its consequence yet' or 'this note is in the wrong context'." "If it feels right, then it's probably fine."

People who are skeptical of the mRNA vaccines say the COVID-19 spike protein is cytotoxic. This vaccine also uses the same spike protein? Lol

I love this meme ?

If you placed baby Einstein in a black box, fed him through an IV and allowed him no interaction with the outside world, he would not be intelligent.

If you want to stop the virus from mutating, you need to stop it from replicating, and vaccinations is by far the most effective solution for this. Resistant variants are only a problem because we're sloppily vaccinating a few and letting it spread freely through the rest of the population.

Yeah no.

We're dealing with a population of individuals, not just one individual. Less vaccinations -> less immune people -> more people infected -> more virus replications -> more mutations.
