Is there power in perceiving universals?

Question

Is there power in perceiving universals?

Answer 1

There isn't much power in perception because perception is not reality as is.  What is universal is.  True power is becoming known rather than knowing about it.

Answer 2

There is light from darkness in perceiving universals.

Answer 3

Yes, the power given to reason by the differentiation of  universals ("genera") from particulars ("differentia.")

Answer 4

Yes.  This is the foundation of understanding, which then leads to communication with those around you who perceive universals too.
