Actually that visual focus is likely an adaptation to originating in the trees, swinging around branches, where judging distances is essential.

Then when we went down to the ground, found ourselves very good at throwing sticks and stones.

Consider that land based prey animals have eyes on the sides of their heads, because spatial awareness is necessary for their survival.

So then we have spent the last few million years further concentrating our attention, as well as abstracting concepts such as "meaning" and "value."

Now we have a world where the "bottom line" has the most meaning for the greatest numbers of people.

Unfortunately this linear, goal oriented approach eventually has to come to terms with a reality that is more cyclical, circular, reciprocal and feedback generated.

The real question is how do we extract ourselves from our own physiological projections?

Try these three questions, about time, god and money;

Is time the point of the present, moving past to future, that we experience as mobile organisms with this sequential process of perception, required to navigate, or is it change, turning future to past? As in tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns?

Just a hint, if you want to get anywhere in theoretical physics, go with the first.

God; Would a spiritual absolute be an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell, or the essence of sentience, from which we rise?

Which begs a follow up question; What if people assumed ideals as absolute? Try thinking that through, if you want to run off shrieking.

Remember democracy and republicanism originated in pantheistic cultures. Family as godhead. The Romans co-opted a monotheistic sect as state religion around the time the Empire solidified out of the ashes of the Republic. The Big Guy Rules.

Money: Would it be a commodity we mine from the economy, or the social contract enabling it?

Hint; A medium is not a store. Blood is a medium, fat is a store.

How about an extra credit; Are good and bad some cosmic conflict between righteousness and evil that culture assumes, or the basic biological binary of beneficial and detrimental, by which nature functions?

The philosophers, existential, analytic, whatever, are just school boys.
