Yeah, it has become an attractor where going inside of it can keep you stuck inside of it, thinking that we are not capable of adequately understanding our social relations or our relation to the wider world without trying to ignore what is immediately perceptible.

It might be true that there are hard limits to how much one can control willfully and how much one can perceive or sense at a given time in a given place, but to believe that some realm of being outside of 'the physical' is MORE real than the physical, and that our bodies are somehow less real than that which we cannot perceive leads to a viscious cycle of habitually ignoring one's own sensations, survival needs, and social instincts toward solidarity and social support networks. In general it is already hard enough to accurately perceive the details and changes and patterns of change of what is constituting and what is outside of our bodies... so to believe that there is more truth or reality somehow in whatever we cannot perceive with our senses and can only imagine just further disables us from interacting safely in our environment... this was a topic I wrote about in college a bit--it helped me to term this "the diffrence between the belief that the physical is ontologically primary to the metaphysical vs. the belief that the metaphysical is ontologically primary to the physical" cause that seemed a fair way to describe the distinction.
