OK – tomorrow it is then.
The topic for this month, continues to focus on the human subject and our fundamental frame of reference – that from which our mind, culture and reality arise – today we will examine the subjectivity/objectivity duality.
Why is it that when three people look at the same issue, we so often have such different responses?
What are the factors behind the differences? vantage point, history, habit, education, intelligence, discipline, personal agenda etc...
How does one work out whether they are being objective – what are the signs and techniques?
If we were to order our objectivity, what would be some of the things that we know most surely?
Is there an active struggle b/w the imagined world and the material world – which one is winning?
What do we value most between the countable, material imperfect world and the uncountable, unprovable but more idealised world - which is closer to god and which to the animals?
What are the means by which a man manages the material and imagined worlds? Dreams, expectations, biases, vs.realities of matter and realities of the crowd.
Sanity and Insanity – is sanity anything more than a label for the subjective consensus of the many and classic insanity the result of venturing too far out of the grid and losing grip in the free space?
And what of the dream conundrum – each day we pass from one reality into another, being neither conscious nor in control of the transformation – it reminds even the most materialistic of us that our senses are not built on solid rock.
That should keep us going for 90 minutes I’d reckon.
