Categorical Thinking Is Primitive: 03-14-2025

1. Categorical thinking leads to an investment in dualities that do not represent the existing trialities or the continuum of life events and experiences.
2. Categorical thinking leads to verbal games as you try to categorize what you don’t like as negative and what you do like as positive.
3. Categorical thinking leads to the reification of thought, which means you become psychotic and out of touch with reality because you favor being in touch with thought as reality.
4. Categorical thinking, when trusted as a process of truth, leads to becoming lost in thought, dehumanization into a robotic thinker, dullness, idealistic thinking as reality, lack of contact with people and places, lack of reality testing, lack of results testing, lack of understanding, rigid thinking, sloppy thinking, thinking errors, and unrealistic thinking.
5. Categorical thinking leads to a denial of how thinking works by ignoring the realities of arbitrary categories, conflicting categories, fake categories, fake understanding as categories, false knowing as categories, imaginary categories, imperfect categories, impossible categories, inexact categories, inflexible categories, membership in more than one category, overlapping categories, projected categories, reflexive dualism, shared categories, temporary categories, and vanishing categories.
