What scares me here is that most can evoke, analyse, evaluate and integrate the particular, but the abstract of the particular is a complete blank.
And yet it is the abstract that provides the context for the particular.
It's as though we are driving a car but we don't know whether we are on a race track or a quiet country road.
I find this alarming, for those who are limited to the particular are easy prey for predators.
And yet what is scary is how much those limited to the particular, hate the abstract, and socially exclude those who can draw the abstract from the particular.
So the blindness to the abstract seems to be a social blindness.
