From the Paper:

"Meek asserts that mankind should submit themselves to the pattern they have shaped or recognized and chosen through confidence and learning (Meek, 2003). Doing so results in rational though processes that help making understand the world around him an his or her role in the world. To survive and in essence to thrive mankind must sustain themselves based on certain patterns they discern like the patterns one discerns from the magic eye. They must do so with confidence and assertion, which suggests a rational approach to living and which in essence sustains our very existence through rational thinking or though processes."
