[September 2003 journal entry]
Expanding one’s non-discriminating exposure to ideas and to the breadth/depth of human suffering is analogous to overlaying a 3x5 card with a 5x7 card with a 6x8 card with a 8.5x11 sheet with a 11x14 sheet with . . . . Expansion keeps requiring radical examination of previously trusted paradigms. Or – unacceptable in my judgment – expanding exposure is either shut down or becomes discriminating (i.e., attention given only to observations or information favorable to the most current paradigm).
