Insight and its Acquisition
-- / --
Quantity: Available insights exceed the capacity to acquire them
Incoherence: Available insights are interrelated in apparently meaningless ways
Incomprehensibility: Available insight is not immediately understandable or relevant
Preferences: Available insight is rendered meaningful by unconscious preferences that exclude alternative insights
Access cost: Acquiring insight has a price that may render it inaccessible
Avoidance: Acquiring insight is unconsciously avoided to evade the behavioural changes it engenders
Learning time: Acquiring insight in any one domain may take an unacceptable amount of time
Dynamic: Acquiring insight repositions the acquirer in ways that create new challenges
Incommunicability: Acquired insight is incommunicable to others as an integrated whole and engenders countervailing initiatives from perspectives evoked as complementary to its partial understanding
Transparency: Acquired insight reinforces patterns of elitism, secrecy and collusion
Irrelevance: Acquired insight is irrelevant to fruitful action on immediate challenges -- as currently framed
Empowerment: Acquired insight is not necessarily associated with new skills for its effective use
Reframing: The focus on acquisition of insight inhibits the process of embodying it
