The Prejudices Block (Suggestive + Ignoring Functions)

The Prejudices (also called Simplifications) Block is responsible for collecting external information, which is processed through preconceptions and filters that operate outside of full awareness. This block is less developed and often operates unconsciously.

The Block of Prejudices serves as the second Accepting Block within Model A. However, since it is situated in the Vital Block (the unconscious section), the information it handles is difficult to isolate and becomes intermingled.

When this block activates, a person is drawn into an uncharacteristic mode of activity that they are unable to properly analyze. They perceive realities that are entirely different from those they navigate in everyday life and are capable of evaluating objectively.

Figuratively, this block is a "dumping ground" for ideas, impressions, and biases that prevent an individual from fully engaging with a situation and seeing it impartially.

Key Operational Characteristics:

Inadequate assessment, ignorance of situational context, simplification, and detachment.
Idealized and absolute concepts—ideas that are archaic and have not been critically re-evaluated.
Superficial attention, or a complete lack thereof.
Consequently, this results in inappropriate ideas, fantasies, or initiatives. While these may be presented with confidence, they are not based on differentiated or meaningful analysis.

In contrast to the Mobilization Block (which assesses a situation before acting), the Block of Prejudices acts first, then evaluates the outcome.

It fails to account for the complexity of the situation, the variety of options, differing perceptions, or other factors.
It is marked by a characteristic drive toward equalization or leveling everything out.
