Convenience paradox
When we begin to use knowledge to show us what we don't see, so that we may see a theme or an issue as a whole, a vision of a world on the brink of change results; and of a whole new order of things, which is ready to emerge. We call the emerging order of things the holotopia. The five insights are selected as sufficient to see the holotopia.
The Convenience Paradox insight, which is introduced here, is one of them.
Ideogram
Intuitive idea
What needs to be illuminated here, by right information, is (1) the long-term effects of our choices and (2) our own ability to feel. How wonderful to see that those two are really two sides of a single coin!
Insight
Convenience / egocenteredness are deceptive, meaningless values. Wholeness is the thing to pursue.
Consequences
What could influence the direction of our 'bus' more than values?
