What is Binary Thinking?
I think binary thinking is sort of what Peirce thought of nominalism — caught in a system where one could not go beyond the dyad, whatever it was or is. It is like being for this or that, with no possibility of a third option
A triangle is infinite. That third option can extend theoretically until a satisfactory action and/or expression is reached.
Binary thinking is going to the mat for one or the other.
It is a resignation to inevitable conflict.
It is the story of our wars and our divorces and most of our culture and politics.
It is the Hunger Games.
If Wittgenstein had an area about which we could not speak I have an area I cannot stomach — and that is the world as it is set up and operating now.
A triadic world is achievable for the simple reason that all it takes is a mental change of which anyone is at least theoretically capable.
No one is completely devoid of triadic impulses — a move beyond knee jerk solutions when you know they solve nothing.
It is the devaluation people perform on themselves which is the saddest part of it all.
