Our era is characterized by humanity and horror, the highest intelligence and organized stupidity. Everything arises from the orientation systems of people and their society. This serves as the motivation for analyzing how people's orientations are constructed and what support or obstacles they encounter through institutions. In order to orient themselves, people create a map of their social world in their minds. Their scale is based on sympathy, proximity, and distance. Based on these insights into the psychological workshop of orientation, it is explained how individuals find their way in the modern world and where they fail. Among the surprising findings of the study is the observation that we make aesthetic judgments when we know nothing; there are potential dangers lurking in our explanations and attributions of causality; and with better information, ambivalence increases.
