Identities Lead to Illusions (GS): 07-27-2025

1. Identities are necessary for speed and generalizations, but are often hazardous to accuracy, change, variance, and truth.
2. Identities are necessary for instinctual and automatic reactions, but are mostly detrimental to analysis, insight, and understanding.
3. All identities are false to facts, which can be tempered by using the 5 Thinking Positions (5TP) to keep awareness of possibilities and variations.
4. The 5TP can keep us aware of differences, options, and variables quickly and easily without claiming to account for every possibility or permutation.
5. All identities are false to facts, but identities are necessary for collecting knowledge, deciding on facts, language, legal proceedings, memory, making laws, scientific analysis, and writing.
6. Maturity and reasoning require continually acting against the incompetence of identities, and seeking to reconcile contradictions, deviations, permutations, possibilities, and variations with projected realities and planned responses.
