Whose Perception? (Train Incident)

Hi Yall! I wrote a little Blogpost about perception. I thought I would share it here.

Perception and perspective are very closely related.

 

Perception is the ability to receive data unflawed.

 

Perspective is what our mind does with the data.

 

One person might view what happened as a failed attempt at suicide.

 

Another person may view it as a silly youth prank, maybe a dare.

 

Unless we have more data we can go only on our personal perspective.

 

If we could have heard the entire interview with the police we may have been able to state exactly what happened.

As they say in Hawaii 5 O

 

"Give me the facts damn it, just the facts" the perceptual concretes. Then we must think, put these perceptions into a conceptual framework drawing on all the other concepts we hold and making an inductive conceptual leap in order to solve the problem. We cannot fully test the hypothesis, but given the facts are good and sufficient, that our own store of knowledge is sufficient - though we may have to add to it through collaboration with other specialist, eventually we can draw an accurate conclusion of the causes of the events.

Not enough data there , likely there wouldn't ever be enough data for you to get his motive other than making broad sweeping assumptions which could still be off base.

What a person does,, when one does it ,, is 'concrete -ify' the sum total of their experiences ,perceptions, conclusions , sentiments ,situation and so forth. That output , is not confidently predictable for individuals , yet statistically some stuff is fairly predictable.

 

The useful conclusions IMO are that ,,

1) of the many many things that cross ones mind , at any instance there is only the one output which results... and thats really all that one should conclude is the sum total of the guys mind on the subject.

2) You cannot  understand fully what other peoples motivational stance is,, nor our own. 

3) what a person does,  may depend most , on the situation

Hmm. Interesting. Yeah, perception is in the eye of a beholder, huh?

Sorry. This is the only information I have at the moment.
