The Plague of Misidentification

Blaming, Scapegoating, Refusal of Ownership Part 10 Delusion

In today's TPOM, we will take a look at the deeper aspects of how the internal components interact with each other. We will do this through a scenario that deals with our topic of blaming, scapegoating, & refusal of ownership.

Modeling the Thought Matrix

When considering the matrix of thought, one has to start somewhere, and in one sense, one place is as good as another. In that a model is only as good as its relation to reality, we need this model to carry with it the correlates to reality; otherwise, it will be a model of something other than reality. This brings to light a problem in that all models are representations of something, and in this case, that something is supposed to be the reality held within our thought space. However, it may only correlate with the real on a percentage basis, indicating that the model is only x percent in accordance with reality. This is a common problem that all who deal with modeling of any type have to struggle with and one that we need to understand while maintaining that what we are modeling can be tested for point-to-point correlation and accuracy. That said, we cannot allow the fact that the model will, by nature, be imperfect for a time to stop us from creating and continuing to test the model. When enough testing has been done, the model will be more robust if and only if we follow the indicators of reality and not just our preconceptions of what we think should be at any given moment and in any possible situation.
