REALITIES: WORDS, "MINDS," INSTITUTIONS, PSYCHOANALYSIS AND COSMOANALYSIS: A CALCULUS-STRUCTURAL-HEURISTIC APPROACH (PART 2)

General Semantics (GS) is (exists as) a way of thinking: a way of thinking about the way people think about things based on explicitly stated principles they could apply to help them better manage their inner and outer realities. Recognizing potentially harmful identifications poses a major challenge for each one of them: Tools that they can use to help them address this challenge include conscious abstracting, a calculus-structural approach, consciousness of abstracting, and the principle of non-identity. As brooms are not usually designed to clean themselves but can clean other brooms, they are challenged in cleaning up their inner semantic realities. Their minds, in not recognizing their different levels of representation-abstractions, contribute to thei personal and institutional difficulties in not recognizing and accepting responsibility for how they create a great deal of their human problems. Attributing the source of their problems solely to agencies other than their mind-processes could be an origin of scapegoating.
