systemic+awareness

The logic of my argument is that, once you have an awareness of the bigger picture (through systems thinking and practice) you cannot avoid seeing the impact of your actions on others. Without a systemic awareness, your ignorance of the bigger picture doesn't implicate you -- you don't have to think morally about the things that you don't know.

'... Anybody using systems thinking and practice to advance themselves to the detriment of the greater good/the big picture has no conscience'

The funny thing is, that's exec tly what the OU looks like in general: get your piece of paper and run for it perhaps do a bit of swanking, parading your medals, your marks, how your going to do a masters or research degree and sod any problems because your at the bottom of the intellectual hierarchy and someone higher up will sort it out. The best thing to do is to set up some sort of glee club and mesmerise yourself with problems on the edges of space and time, that way your detached. Besides, it's easy to talk about some other situation and how if you were there you'd do this or that and why don't they notice. Tell me then, if you ever met that shaolin blindman from the Kung-Fu movie, how many grasshoppers will he say were at your feet all along and that you didn't notice?
