Rarely does an erected flag fly alone. An invisible wind moves it, meaning an external force. When the wind blows, flags flutter, dust rises, and laundry dries. Many changes occur in response to one external factor, but we cannot see the cause. Eyes capable of reading invisible external causes can respond to a world of rapid change. We cannot attribute a cause solely by observing a phenomenon; instead, we must recognize a specific pattern across multiple phenomena. The ability to detect hidden commonalities is a form of wisdom. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Consilience . When information is gathered to form knowledge and then used to gain insight through inspiration, it becomes wisdom. The world we live in is now multidimensional and a complex system . You can’t correctly interpret and understand it using only the simple patterns of a limited worldview . After collecting and discarding fragments of information and scattered knowledge, we must reconnect them to discover new patterns. Consilience is the ability to see wisely in a world filled with significant volatility and uncertainty . It’s a world where mistakes are easy to make if we only focus on one side. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
