Many people today ask, "Why can some people see what's happening today and others can't?" This is a psychological question of one's capabilities versus the will to use it.
I am attempting to make this blog DIFFERENT in that it each blog post will discuss the taboo subject of a topic's CAUSE: The mindset that facilitated it.
The novel I wrote, Descendants of Atlantis, delves into the different mindsets and the outcomes of their world, individually and collectively (society). I hoped that the book would spur one into the greater question of how their beliefs shape and even block them from the organized evil among them.
I do not mean to preach how one "should" be. Instead, I am attempting to inspire interest in what "could" be different--for better or worse.
Feel free to comment or reach out to me with your thoughts. On the Insider Blog, I'll be posting relevant topics that affect our daily and future lives with the angle of different mindsets fostering their creation--and dissolution.
Mindset
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: In decision theory and general systems theory, a mindset is a set of assumptions, methods, or notions held by one or more people or groups of people.[1] A mindset can also be seen as arising out of a person's world view or philosophy of life.[2]
A mindset may be so firmly established that it creates a powerful incentive within these people or groups to continue to adopt or accept prior behaviors, choices, or tools.[citation needed] The latter phenomenon is also sometimes described as mental inertia, "groupthink", and it is often difficult to counteract its effects upon analysis and decision making processes.
In cognitive psychology, a mindset represents the cognitive processes activated in response to a given task (French, 2016).
