It is theory that decides what can be observed.

Summary

This quote suggests that our theories and worldviews shape the way we interpret and understand the world around us. Our preconceived notions and beliefs influence the observations we make and the conclusions we draw. In other words, our theories act as filters that determine what we consider as significant or observable phenomena. Therefore, our understanding of reality is heavily influenced by the theoretical frameworks we use to make sense of it.

Do we deny sensitivity to all of the so-called lower orders to blunt, protect, and, ultimately, deny our own? We will see that bees can grieve over teh loss of a queen, sound war cries or hum with contentment; they can be angry, docile, ferocious, playful, aggressive, appear happy, or utter pitiful sounds of distress. are these not emotions akin to ours, merely expressed differently?

If an organization is narrow in the images that it directs toward its own actions, then when it examines what it has said, it will see only bland displays. This means in turn that the organization won't be able to make much interesting sense of what's going on or of its place in it. That's not a trivial outcome, because the kind of sense that an organization makes of its thoughts and of itself has an effect on its ability to deal with change. An organization that continually sees itself in novel images, images that are permeated with diverse skills and sensitivities, thereby is equipped to deal with altered surroundings when they appear.
