Calculus is a tool in the toolkit of applied math. Cantor's completed infinities, set theory etc. are not necessary for a rocket scientist of artillery officer to do their calculations. They are failed attempts to coherently justify Newton's calculus, and its offspring, from the side of pure mathematics.
I'm not saying that it's impossible to construct mathematics, to which some better version of calculus fits coherently, on the contrary. Bridging the gap is a major challenge, but not impossible. Cantorian approach to that challenge is now like trying to run before you have learned to walk, stumbling, and then yelling with your face in the mud that there can't be a better way to bridge the gap! "It works, bitches!" is the voice of resentment from that embarrassed and ashamed fall. The aim is for more coherent theory that can say: "It works, lovely!"
If "considered" is here in complementary and inclusive meaning, agreed to some extent. On the level of individual separation, which still is fully bounded by Subject-Object dualism, aim of spiritual progress is usually and mostly about seeking ways beyond the boundaries of separation. Of course the aim from separation to integration is not an on-off situation, it's a process of various degrees, degrees which are not measurable in any simple quantitative scale. Uniqueness and unique perspectives are not lost by boundaries dissolving and expanding awareness. Which, of course, is not limited to the intellectual domain. Meaningful informing comes also from whole to parts, with growing degree of coherence and consensus:the aims must be considered from an individual perspective (maybe family) if we want to make any spiritual progress. Once we get to the level of state, nation, planet, extra-terrestrial civilizations, etc., then we are just picking and choosing frames of reference which serve to make the argument work in favor of our personal preferences. And we are also dealing with a level of complexity that is near impossible to analyze in normal waking consciousness.
Orienting mechanism, guidance, inspiration, comes through many layers, which include also competing archetypal/evolutionary principles, constantly rebalancing each other in dynamic process. A core principle following also from pragmatic truth theory is that movement must keep on moving.A major part of my spiritual faith is believing what works best to stimulate my innate individual sense of meaning, what JP refers to as "orienting mechanism", is also what works best for larger scale systems.
