23、Alfred Korzybski believes that all human beings lead a kind of double life. First, people live in an internal (内在的) world of ideas, feelings, etc. The happenings in this world are patterns of events in the human nervous system. Secondly , people live in a world outside their skins, the external(外在的)world of “reality”. The happenings in this world are patterns of events best known to science.

The first world, the patterns of events inside our skins, Korzybski called the INTEN- SIONAL area. The second, the patterns of events outside our skins, he called the EXTEN- SIONAL area. Think for a moment about the two worlds in which you live. Look, for example, at the following diagram:

INTENSIONAL PATTERNS           EXTENSIONAL PATTERNS

“cat”                             An object we call “cat”.

 

The word "cat ".                        A pattern of physical and

The image of this cat.                    chemical events best

Ideas about cats.                        known to science.

Feelings about cats.

Physical tensions aroused

by the cat: the urge to

pick it up, to kick it, etc.

Thinking along these lines, Alfred Korzybski began to see what was wrong with the great number of people: they confused intentional events with extensional “reality”. He believed that too many people mistake the events in their own nervous systems for events in the outside world. When they get lost in a strange city, more often than not they are angry at the map they use. In fact, it’s the maps of words in their heads that are to blame.
