Reality Masking By Andrew Lian

The DETAIL of the linguistic and scientific discourse MASKS what we really trying to do and those factors which we are unable to define but which really matter.

So.. We focus on what we have categorized, elevate it to a high place and ignore the things  that we have not been able to (or wished to) categorize in the belief that what we have categorized is in fact what really matters and is a complete description or as complete description as you would want (and therefore the basis for explanation) of the objects or phenomena which we are seeking to describe.

While in fact the categories we have established are not the complete object of study, or for that matter, any part of the object of study they become (magically) the object of study because they seem so real, so solid, so true.

We are acculturated into these belief systems and live our lives as though we were surrounded by a world of solidity. It is that very solidity which is misleading and actually quite damaging.
