I'm not sure if you wrote this with AI, but could you provide examples? Knowledge is shaped by constraints which inform intention, it doesn't "drive it." "I want to fly, I intend to fly, I learn how to achieve this by making a plane." not "I have plane making knowledge therefore I want and intend to fly" However, I totally understand that constraints often create a feedback loop where reasoning is reduced to the limitations which confine it. My Mom has no idea that "her computer" != "windows + hp + etc", and if you were to ask her how to use a computer, she would be intellectually confined to a particular ecosystem. I argue the same is true for capitalism/dominant culture. If you can't "see" the surface of the thing that is shaping your choices, chances are your capacity for "will" is hindered and constrained. Going back to this. > What's yourself without your material possessions and social connections? There is no such thing as yourself without these. I don't think my very ability to make choices comes from owning stuff and knowing people. | ||
