The Deficit of Vision: The Blind Spot of Collective Intelligence
Collective memory is shaped not just by what we see, but by what we choose to ignore. This blindness is rarely the failure of an individual; rather, it is a product of an era's collective intelligence. The "deficit of vision" does not filter through the eyelids of the individual, but through the subconscious of society.
I. Deficit of Vision and the Black-and-White Mind
Binary thought systems—simplified realities like good-evil, us-them, right-wrong... This is not a mere mental habit; it is a socio-political conditioning. Collective perception is sometimes not just incomplete, but intentionally diminished. To see is to choose; but to choose is also to give birth to blindness.
II. Blindness Even Among Peers
Individuals on the same plane fail to recognize one another within the illusion of equality. Even peer-to-peer interactions are shaped by this deficient vision. Everyone seems to be speaking, yet no one can truly hear. The problem is not being on the same level, but looking through the same lens.
III. The Historical Background
History is not just a record of lived events; it is a collection of silenced perspectives. The construction of nation-states, colonial narratives, official ideologies… All of these engineer collective blindness. What we are forced to see is as much a historical choice as what we actually see.
IV. Traps of Socio-Political Intelligence
Intelligence is as social as it is individual. However, in a socio-political context, intelligence often protects the norm rather than the truth. This presents the "deficit of vision" as the "correct perspective." Yet, the deepest delusions often arrive accompanied by the loudest applause.
Conclusion
Perhaps the true revolution lies not in seeing something new, but in completing what is missing. Collective intelligence matures only to the extent that it confronts itself. Because what e fail to see is often what we need the most. The act of seeing, in itself, is sometimes a form of courage.
