WHY DO WE LIVE IN DIFFERENT MENTAL EXPERIENCES?

—“My working understanding of Truth is that which stands as a spiritual Reality, iterations of which show up in the manifest world as the vast array of imperfections with which we live in our daily lives.”—Marguerite McKenna @Nalo_Nei

Spiritual combines (conflates) intuition and emotion.

Human Cognitive Process:

perceive stimuli

… disambiguate,

… … integrate(obj,space,scene),

… … … auto-associate,

… … … … auto-predict,

… … … … … intuit relations,

… … … … … … intuit valuations(emotion),

… … … … … … … devote attention,

… … … … … … … … Imagine(predict,model)

… … … … … … … … … reason(permute),

… … … … … … … … … … calculation(plan),

… … … … … … … … … … … computation.

Male bias Think / Female bias Feel.

That’s what the brain does. Period. And all of us ‘live in’ some dominant experience between variation of the auto associative free-associative, imaginary-emotional(Aesthetic), and the (like me) completely Predictive-Analytical(Decidable). Division of labor cognitive so to speak.

—“And which part is observing the interplay you speak of?”—Can’t Stump the Trump @DeplorableDJDJ

Well, the question is, where do each of us specialize in performing auto association, prediction, valuation, focus, planning, and action? In other words, are we practicing consumption, exchange or production?

Dorsal Sequence (hierarchy) of Labor:

… Sensory, S-M,

… … Motor(physical), M-E,

… … … Executive, E-S,

… … … … Social, S-F,

… … … … … Focus, P-F,

… … … … … … Plan,

… … … … … … … Release Action

… … … … … … … … > Recurse.

Lateral: Prey(Perception-integration) vs Predator (Action-analysis).

Diff Auto-Association

… ->Diff in Prediction(imagination)

… … -> Diff in Activity(value detection)

… … … ->Diff in Attention

… … … … -> Subjective(experience, conflate)

… … … … vs

… … … … -> Executive (Plan Act Recuse Disambiguate).

Female and Male cognitive stereotypes (as always) are correct at the general and at the extreme. However, w/ heavily overlapping, so we find a few males with female cog bias, and opposite.

And no it’s not a social construction.

(a) brain structures vary (sometimes greatly) by gender

(b) brain functions vary (sometimes greatly) by gender

(c) in utero development failure produces ‘failures’.

(d) early development, social development, trauma produce ‘failures’.

So all of us can experience some or all of the spectrum but some of us bias the degree of agency (submission-experience(imagination)) vs (dominance-action) according one way or the other. As in all things we are very good at single dimension comprehension, and bad at multi.

So for simple reduction:

TABLE OF DIMENSIONS

1.Self ………………………vs Others ….vs World;

2.Sensory(aesthetes) .vs Empathy .vs Motor(athletes);

3.Internal(experience) vs Others ….vs External(action);

4.Consumption(Recreation,Submission)

……………………………..vs.Trade (Interaction, collaboration)

……………………………………………vs Production (Agency, Dominance);

5.Short Term …………..vs Medium ..vs Long Term.

In other words, we’re not only different, we evolved to specialize in collecting information across reproductive, productive, knowledge, and perception spectrums and cooperating and communicating to produce a market the equilibrium serving all Power, Pareto and Nash distributions.

This means we not only parallel process vast amounts of information internally, but collectively through display word and deed.

And as in ANY MARKET, the velocity of transformation (‘prosperity’) is determined by the degree of expression of various wants in competition with the degree of suppression of ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, fictions, fraud and deceit.

The Issue (Different Grammars of Expression) isn’t ‘just semantics’, but of our specializations, and the market of cooperation. My work requires greater suppression of falsehood, most people’s requires greater seizure of opportunity (with hope of no-falsehood)

Because increases in precision placing increased burden on executive function, are cognitively and informational expensive.
