Altitude and Objectivity

Standing in the midst of a crowd all one sees are the surrounding people. Climb up a few steps and you begin to see the group. And climbing a few more you see the totality of the crowd.

However, dare to climb a few more and with that altitude comes the ability to see the clustered groups and flows of people, moving to the restrooms, the canteens, the exists and entrances.

With psychological altitude not only do we get to see a bigger crowd, we also get to see the systems within the crowd. And then it shifts from being a crowd to a living organism, alive with parts and systems.

Psychological objectivity is not altitude and altitude is not objectivity, and methods for developing either are not the same.
