Subjective and Objective Symbiosis

Conceptual impressions surrounding this post are yet to be substantiated, corroborated, confirmed or woven into a larger argument, context or network.

By design scientism has come to discover its own limitations. Implications surrounding the concept of “objectivity” have been exposed. However appealing at first glance the concept of objectivity does not imply honesty, fairness and/or precision. Rather, the quest to retain objectivity is based upon observation; an accumulative/multidimensional product of the senses sewn together to create a somewhat mutable tapestry patterned within a conglomerate of belief systems.

Obviously any attempt to acquire knowledge within the framework of objectivity must be scrutinized and deciphered, hence the need for repeated experimentation and consensus concerning specific observations.

Yet it appears that from every perspective there is a natural return to a state of experiences viewed as being relatively subjective in thought, i.e. a single illusory concept that seems to be an active contributor to the loosely defined concept called consciousness. Less more expansive discussion and investigation, “objectivity” looks to be more of an instrument of the mind used to control the intention of sharing experiences with its subjective counterpart thereby creating, and likewise perpetuating, a cyclical system of intellectual and intuitional relationship; the product (design) of which is knowledge in the form of a greater awareness of the very of consciousness being observed.

Another version of the same would be the symbiotic relationship created between the intellect and the intuition working in tandem to reveal an impregnable unknown while seeking an internal validation of wholeness, i.e. unity.

The evolution of the scientific paradigm has inadvertently revealed its constraints within the very context in which it has been designed. Yet, for many “scientism” remains a successful and appropriate methodology in which to attain knowledge and accumulate slivers of “truth”.

It seems obvious that being objective is not quite as objective as we would like it to be. This kink merely reinforces the importance of having an intimate understanding of the universality of the design function through symbolic means, especially as it affects and contributes to the concept, i.e. states, we struggle to comprehend as being part and parcel of a personal and collective consciousness.

Only recently has contemporary society begun to understand the importance of intuition's role in the survival of humanity and the planet. History has shown that the scientific paradigm has the tendency to marginalize the intuition in favor of the intellect, dominating what can be felt and measured as a collective imbalance experienced today.

Contemporary “thinking” remains skewed towards supporting a scientific paradigm, while design thinking is considered less worthy to what scientism conjures to be real or appropriate. Only in times of emergency is design thinking considered relevant, important and/or applicable, e.g. situations requiring new, unique and creative solutions through methods of problem finding and/or problem solving.

Design thinking is the fulcrum between the intellectual and the intuitional aspects of intelligence. Design thinking creates the point of balance. One purpose of the design paradigm is to raise the subjective capacity of an observer to discover that knowing rests upon a sympathetic understanding and symbolic interpretation of experience. An active integration of the intellect and the intuition, the imagination and a symbolic recognition of all that is material and non-material supply the tools required to penetrate the unknown.

The very description of creativity and innovation are in contrast with the conventional patterns created by the intellectualization of the mind. Without striving for balance between the intellect and the intuition little will be learned from the gifts presented to consciousness by the design paradigm.
