Without a working perception of some greater whole, one is liable to become lost, wandering too far in a bad direction.
Say, desiring too much as a collective, putting everyone to work in the service of that errant desire, and then burning through exploited labor that is not being renewed. The attenuated attention that was required for that mismatched desire is also the attention that short-sightedly obsesses solely over the friction points between the grinding moving parts, and the destruction that results from the bad process as it breaks down, which reinforces and contributes to said destruction.
