Our civilization has spent a great deal of time and effort developing linear thinking so we could build the infrastructure that supports our civilization and gives us the time and freedom to enjoy it and not have to use linear thinking, which is difficult and a real pain. This is why kids hate math and some kids don't learn to read. It's also the reason why loud mouthed, self promoting slime-balls enjoy such immense popularity: they don't engage in linear thinking and they don't require you to do so either. Just listen and watch and experience their entire show. It's glorious! It must be! They say it is!
This is why we are all doomed to another world wide conflagration. The more advanced we become technically, the more free time people have, and the less they will need linear thinking and the more they will start responding emotionally, where upon they will start following whatever yahoo is putting on the most entertaining show. We can't help it, it's simply our nature.

Romeo thought linearly.
ReplyDeleteJulia Set her mind to nonlinearity ;-)
At first I thought you were referring to Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, but now I see it's Julia, not Juliette. I suspect you meant Juliette. I don't recall the details to the story well enough to tell whether your comparison makes sense. In any case, it didn't work out very well for either one of them, did it?
