Induction, deduction and extensions

An "induction" is an instance of inducting, like where an Y chromosome sparks a change in an embryo for it to become male. Induction is also the act of inducing labor, where labor is initiated artificially with drugs such as oxytocin.

Perhaps inductive thinking explains why some people seem so fond of inductions into (secret) groups or knowledge. In these rituals or group meetings, an isolated conducting object gets charged by momentarily grounding it while a charged body is nearby.

Funnily enough, "deduction" seems also used in financial contexts, where it refers to any item or expenditure subtracted from gross income to reduce the amount of income subject to tax. We may keep men around for some induction after all.

	Inductive thinking	Deductive thinking
Intent	Deriving general principles from particular facts or instances and presenting those in support of an argument or proposition	Reasoning from the general to the specific; deducing; subtracting
Dimension	Probability and likelihoods	Necessity
Inferences	Conclusions may be false even when premises are true	A conclusion must be true if its premises are true
Requires	A perfectly intelligent Goddess image, an idealized collective unconscious (or else we have a homunculus problem)	Creating infinite manifold universes (or else nothing exists)
Beliefs	A collective unconscious gestalt we can never test	Universes we can never truly visit, for we can exist only in our own
Extensions/plugins	Symbolic logic and rocking the boat on our own behalf	Sensing beyond the senses and asking for what we want

An example of the in the table mentioned deductive inferences: If we know men can not be intelligent, and you are a man, it is only logical to deduce you can not truly be intelligent, so no matter what intelligent behaviors you seem to be displaying, it probably has some other mysterious explanation.

Downside of this reasoning appears to be that we'll never discover if men have (developed) some kind of intelligence we don't know about. Okay, so let's try some inductive reasoning:

If we know you are not intelligent enough to perceive true intelligence (females), and you seem to behave rather inductive, casting spells this God gestalt is male would likely be verrry effective on you. And let's be practical. Conclusions may be false (males have intelligence), even with true premises (males can not truly be intelligent). Whatever works, you know ...

I win. I bet I'm the first breed of woman to market for the discovery (revelation) of some kind of true intelligence in men. And if you ask me, uniting with virgins seems highly overrated. Perhaps I can patent this male intelligence mechanism or process? (Excuse me, not testable)

Gestalts are illusions, and, be they a company or a person, function more effectively when connected to context. Contextually resonant companies and people generate a sense of ownership and pride which reinforces a healthy self-organizing culture. The more this approach is embodied, the less complex the challenge of management becomes, and the more connected stakeholder purposes are in alignment with its gestalt, the clearer and more fundamental each relationship within and with the network or system and the more effective the system becomes.

When watching self and identity unfolding are interwoven, it can deliver a state where Universality of Emotion appears. We're all looking for some thing, some need to be filled, some group to be a part of and share our energy and effort and money with. Embodiments of gestalts aligned to this knowledge, are in a powerful position to have and support movements in the collective unconscious, our legacy.
