Human thought processes proceed as if it is reporting objectively, but in fact, it is often coloring and distorting perception in unexpected ways. What is required in order to correct the distortions introduced by thought, is a form of proprioception, or self-awareness. Neural receptors throughout the body inform us directly of our physical position and movement, but there is no corresponding awareness of the activity of thought. Such an awareness would represent psychological proprioception and would enable the possibility of perceiving and correcting the unintended consequences of the thinking process. | |||
These distortions are not there by error, they have evolved over time for the body to save energy. For instance, why expend all of the energy looking at people's individual nuances to figure out if you can trust them or not. Instead evolution made a rule of thumb and racism evolved. This is not to say racism is correct, it is more to say skin colour one of the simplest differentiators of us and them, evolution has has encoded, culturally / genetically to avoid others, i.e. mother said don't talk to strangers. In general this worked within a monoculture society, however today in our multicultural society this heuristic proves to be a hangover from a distant past. | |||
So the idea is before we go on this wiki journey we identify the key heuristics in human thought, so we might see the problem a little better. | |||
