School, reality, objectivity, gestalt, and the whole being greater than the sum of the parts

In school one is at fault for not being able to reproduce someone else's thought, instead of being praised for producing their own thought.

The word 'maintenance' when a applied to the world of labor, gestalts the view of work into its true reality as 'not-life'.

Objectivity arises from conceiving of reality as 'a', and then 'not-a'.

We must gestalt cause to effect.

A car accident is as unplanned as cold weather, but we consider one stoppable, the other as bad luck. They are both either chaotic, or inexorable.

Re-symbolizing the world may gestalt it.

Emergent properties, emergent entities: when the whole becomes greater than the sum of the parts, this is creation. At this point prediction is impossible.
