In the part of the world where some live: the pursuit of knowledge, the progress of science and thought has reminded me of parallels; like the architecture of analysis. So can we better understand the way we make decisions if we think of ideas as atoms and ideas as molecules? Ideas as molecules are dynamic; more space than mass. Take a moment to 'see' how different groups of atoms form into molecules. Changing one atom changes the molecular performance and its relationship with other molecules. Like understanding ethics and principles. Adding one or more ethnic/molecule changes the energy. And doing this may enable us to understand the architecture of the mind as masons searching for that ubiquitous light of knowledge. It also lets us examine the distinction between each atom/ideas. Let me make a clumsy attempt to understand free thought. In the wider orbit of thought, we are today expressing the effects of the enlightenment; that period of thought when superstition was replaced by reason and nature. Influence and manipulation of public attitude have become a commodity, one that has a strong magnetic field with a consciously and surreptitiously. Publishing is now a cottage industry. Invention coming from so many points. And within the Order that exists neither secret nor public; apolitical yet influential; benign yet purposeful; purporting good but treated with suspicion; known but unknown; we do not feast on a common ideology. Held together in abstract commonness, divided by strength and ability; this agent of conscience is an opportunity. Whether a person takes advantage depends on a mindset.
