Another way to think about this is there are two basic methods of perception, either focused on the details, or try to achieve a broad sense of how the larger processes work and the details fit together.

Though our culture mostly "focuses" on the specialists, while the generalists are assumed to be dabblers.

Consequently those children who are interested in everything, such that over time, will come to understand how the diverse aspects are connected, tend to be diagnosed as attention deficient and medicated until their minds fit back in the box.

The effect is this global Tower of Babel, where the hustlers end up in control, because they are the best bs artists.

For example, three questions, about time, god and money;

Is time the point of the present, moving past to future, that we experience as mobile organisms, or is it change turning future to past? As in tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.

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

Is money a social contract, enabling mass communities, or a commodity to mine from them?

My experience, when raising such issues with the experts, is that they will cross themselves and walk away. Sometimes literally.

I see metaphysics as important, but the consensus seems to differ.

The Tower is getting wobbly though.
