Argumentative paradigms

There seems to be two very strong paradigms that dominate arguments. One is the person who look at the big picture to him it matters what reprecussions something has in the long run. This person often find himself clashing with the other type who accept and doesn't categorize but rather think of things as being their own unique enteties.

I would love if I could be the second person. I like to take things at face value I don't want to have to think of the long term effects. alas I also can't unsee things.

This is really only a problem because society at large is made out of patterns. If we see someone being sucsessfull there is going to be be people who assume similar roles to reconstruct these patterns.

On the flipside there are moments when it's positive to look at things as their own enteties and not categorize or copy the pattern. This is a very free creative area. A person who thinks this way choose to see tiny neuances that change the nature of the subject. Hence they are often timees more adapt at analyzing the subjects unique properties. Something that the "big picture" approach sometimes lack.

On the other hand. The big picture approach will honor the interconnected nature of society. If we look at a puzzle. They act as the one piecing it together. While the others kind of get a bit too wrapped up in looking at each inidvidual piece which might seem ignorant to the outside.

Rarely do they mean to be ignorant, they may not even be misinformed. The core of this lies in how we process and sort information.

I said earlier that there are things I can't deny. Connections I can't unmake because I have this innate knowledge of cause and effect.

But at the same time I can also see how a lot of cause and effect like in physics is quite diminishing. We don't need to connect everything. We don't need to draw hard lines and borders. We don't need to set our foot down.

What we need is majority. If we think something is wrong we need to turn the tides. But to do so It's unwise to approach the world without understanding this concept which has become a cause for soo many arguments.

From now on I welcome both paths into my life. The freedom and realization that what we need is the majority of the puzzle in place, but relish in the fact that there is a acceptance for all those loose pieces and that they don't have to fit in.
