Fragment -- #125

[February 2000 journal entry]

Thesis: That an association exists between

1. indiscriminately critical thinking/inquiry and
2. alignment with the most vulnerable ‘from below’ victims/circumstances.
   

If critical thinking/inquiry is narrowed in order to protect one’s paradigm (including but not limited to the ‘religious’ T/O paradigm), then alignment with the most vulnerable ‘from below’ victims/circumstances is diminished/reduced. If one withdraws from the most vulnerable ‘from below’ victims/circumstances, then critical thinking/inquiry narrows.
