A thing I notice here is that Ways of Seeing and Ways of Thinking tend to cluster together, to the point that they might be basically the same thing in most cases. Whereas “what is the context and purpose of this conversation” tends to be more distinct.
I still think it’s worth distinguishing seeing and thinking – a common experience I’ve had is “oh, okay, now I can see the phenomenon you’re pointing to, and now I can begin to ask myself the question of whether that phenomenon should be important or central to my thinking”, and then it takes awhile before I shift to incorporate into my thinking-frame.
