Generally, in the west what people refer to and experience as consciousness is a debased Cartesian dualism with a bias toward abstraction, NOT cognition, which is an integrative and much more inclusive synthesis of one’s attention and a nascent experience of the electro-magnetic milieu that continually swirls, flows and emanates around us.
Science in the east has precisely the same problem despite its cultural emphasis toward contemplation because science is about abstraction not cognition and Science Only is presently the monopolistic paradigm of inquiry.
Economics requires a Wisdomics-Gracenomics and/or a Wisdomics-Satori-nomics both of whose monetary policies and regulatory programs would reflect the direct and reciprocal dynamic synthesis that is cognition.
