Political discussions are always mystical and morally tinged based on ideas of the “Good guys – us”, versus the “Bad guys – them”. In order to be rid of mystical thinking one has to think functionally. Thinking in terms of the three layers of the bio-psychic apparatus allows one to think functionally about people’s political ideas and behaviors and not get lost in endless, non-productive political discussions. It is from the three layers of their bio psychic apparatus, the biological core, the destructive middle layer and the superficial layer, or surface that people function and all human ideas and behaviors must be understood as expressions from them.

How can this insight be put into practice?
Should I first find out from which layer what is said comes from and then adjust my answer accordingly?
Yes. Educating people about the existence of the three layers would be a breakthrough into people thinking functionally and not moralistically/mystically.
