I guess i've spent so much time looking at the grief caused by apotheosized perchings that i'm convinced they cause more grief than they heal. Maybe this is a personal limitation. I've tried contemplating the idea of a philosophical system that has a built-in expiration or planned obsolescence, but the problem with that is that once people latch on to words or concepts that help them, there is strong resistance to the idea of letting go of them when it's time to do so.
Paradigm shift is not something that humans seem to do very well (so far), and i wonder if it isn't a "hardware limitation."
