“To know anything about oneself one must know all about
others." - Oscar Wilde -
Sounds cool...these are the most dangerous BS memes on the
planet!!
They sound right, but move people into composite standards
that emerge from LACK of differentiation...
Iow, we begin to mashup characteristics as a composition of
reality and what emerges are properties that are unlike the
underlying constituents!!!
We try to know ourselves by comparing and contrasting our
differences as well as similarities...
Our "football" coach used to always us BS in
saying..."they put their pants on one leg at a time like
you do!"
Like somehow that makes us the same?
We are doing this to each other all the time and to worse!
Ourselves!!
Instead of saying, "I'm not the same as Tony Robbins..."
I am paying Tony for him to tell me his reality, and why
it can be mine too!!
And now Wilber is telling us how to be super humans!
Why isn't it ok to just be me...Oscar?
I don't want to know myself through your bias!
I need to understand myself through my own bias, filters
and emergent reality;)
