A mental model at the bottom of the Iceberg, an expectation of what the future holds, an unspoken vision of the future – unspoken, semi-conscious – basic, linear, blends seamlessly with received wisdom. This acts as a filter for present experience, always there and active, even after you get official new visions coming in. This is always what’s operative underneath, driving everything, shaping intention beneath attention. Zombie TFs allow for avoidance of sensemaking, to put attention on something else, distracted from reality, avoiding acknowledging difficult feelings – but there’s a trade-off we get for submitting to them (numbness, depression, collapse).
