It takes an appreciable amount of compassionate intelligence to acknowledge that a rationalization is dependent upon its foundation and supporting structure and thereby is not necessarily fact or truth. If one accepts the premise of wealth as foundation and power as supporting structure then often a rationalization comes across to another (especially one standing outside of the structure) as a manipulative ploy or an outright lie that comes nowhere close to reality. If one accepts the premise of compassionate intelligence as foundation and all of Humanity as supporting structure then often a rationalization (as reason) comes across to another (especially one within a consensus power structure) as adversarial no matter how well it reflects reality. If one looks down upon these structures from a birds eye view, one will see the wealth/power structure nested inside the compassion/Humanity structure, and like nesting eggs, inside the largest wealth/power structure are an innumerable number of smaller and smaller wealth/power structures. From a wealth/power structure, it is easier to look out and pay lip service to all of Humanity than it is to dig deep and practice compassionate intelligence. Looking closely at each framework of power there are many individuals hanging on for dear life, with no stabilizing tether to the foundation; and when one falls from their precarious perch, they may choose to crawl inward and begin climbing a smaller power structure or they may be banished to the outside. Those within a framework of power with solid roots in a foundation of wealth could choose to dig deeper in search of compassionate intelligence but more often are unwilling, choosing to remain comfortable where they're at, realizing that the necessary excavation would disturb their roots. This is most true of those in the largest of the power structures, those closer to compassionate intelligence as foundation, those most equipped to make a difference.
