George Monbiot suggests that human values can be seen as clustered around two poles: extrinsic and intrinsic (To defeat Trump, why should Americans vote for him? You need to know whether to keep going. Psychologists may have the answer, January 29). There may be something more.
In 1980, physicist David Bohm wrote about the explanation and implications of commands in reality. According to Bohm's colleague and biographer David Peet, before the advent of quantum theory, science dealt with an order of space and time, separation and distance, mechanical forces and effective causes, which Bohm called the “explanatory order.” called. He postulated a deeper order that is more consistent with quantum theory and closer to our unconditioned thinking. He called it the “implicit order” or the “wrapped order.”
Previous attempts to grasp this “something” beyond us have included the term immanence. and transcendental, It evolved from Latin into Late Middle English. More relevant to Monbiot's commentary is that in 2009 Ian McGilchrist published a book subtitled “The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World''..

One of the factors that fuels the glorification of wealth, power, and success is the prevalence of game shows. There seems to be no end to the ingenuity of program creators in finding ways to pit individuals against each other for fame and financial rewards.
Contests that glorify deception, like The Traitors, seem particularly offensive. But they all push the values that victory is the height of ambition, reinforced by a lot of razzmatazz. I hate their entire exploitative group and despair at the fate of a planet that depends on cooperation to survive.
