Proclivity

In psychology, economics and philosophy, preference is a technical term usually used in relation to choosing between alternatives. For example, someone prefers A over B if they would rather choose A than B. Preferences are central to decision theory because of this relation to behavior. Some methods such as Ordinal Priority Approach use preference relation for decision-making. As connative states, they are closely related to desires. The difference between the two is that desires are directed at one object while preferences concern a comparison between two alternatives, of which one is preferred to the other. In insolvency, the term is used to determine which outstanding obligation the insolvent party has to settle first. more »

 Struggling with MANIA? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

We come out of the womb
With skewed cognition as a precondition

Every decision an equation
Between desire and inhibition

Rewind the tape to day one
And would your life have played out any different

It calls into question how to exercise judgment
Degrees of free will, the concept of a subject
It's easy assuming you're compos mentis
A loose definition that's suspect at best
I'm tempted to guess at my alleged enemy's intent
But I know I'm better off to find out what they meant
And what elements may have made them that way
An antidote to the temper of the day

What a quaint idea, but it doesn't work society wide
Or so we might conclude from the clamour of the constant outcry
We're still answering the biggest questions
It's natural that we might fall either side
But the shapes assume so many dimensions
It depends on where you draw the lines

Lucky you're a perfect arbiter of wrong and right
Base strategies on fallacies
Repel the other side
Quixotic and neurotic
Yet somehow a perfect model for modern negotiation

On active lookout for signs of violation

Well, I don't know about you
But it's like a hall of mirrors in my head
But I know, despite all my uncertainty
Admitting fallibility moves me as close to sanity as I can get

I see it encouraged institutionally
Mania

We exalt like Olympic medallists
Our leading pop polemicists
Our lionised tribalists
And energised supremacists
It trickles down and magnifies
And now, not only am I your opponent
I'm your wicked, scheming arch nemesis

You think I'm wrong about X and Y
It's black and white
And that gives you a green light
For you to see red

I wish you'd recognise some shades of grey
And break down all these fortresses

Well, I don't know about you
But it's like a hall of mirrors in my head
But I know, despite all my uncertainty
Admitting fallibility moves me as close to sanity as I can get

I see it consuming the better part of us
Mania

Well, I don't know about you
But it's like a hall of mirrors in my head
But I know, because of my uncertainty
Admitting fallibility moves me as close to sanity as I can get

Mindreading, magnifying, twisting and dichotomising
It weakens, disorders and deranges us to the point of
Mania
