Offsetting (Bad) Characteristics
Why people criticize, analyze, idealize… explaining politics,and polarization,in general.
Dichotomy: Zero and One
Humans dichotomize (and categorize) everything into ‘good’ and ‘bad’ ‘containers.’ That is, people criticize, analyze, and idealize, using the core arithmetic ‘character’ called the number ‘two.’ It looks like this:


Therefore, we can notice (and say) everything in Nature revolves around the number ‘two.’


This means there is ‘good’ and ‘bad’ in everything. In Nature. And, of course, ‘human’ Nature.


Criticism: Zero and One
Thus, criticism, in general, and, therefore, universally, involves the ‘offsetting’ of ‘behavior.’

Meaning, humans offset the bad aspects of their behavior by observing it in, and attaching it to, ‘others.’ Where ‘other’ always means ‘human’ and-or ‘Nature.’



Meaning, you cannot escape the diagram if you want to understand ‘Reality.’ (Humans.) (Nature.)

Behavior: Zero and One
Although you can escape the ‘bad’ behavior in your ‘self’ by offsetting it to ‘others.’

Meaning, we all have at-least (and at-most) ‘two selves.’ The ‘good’ self. And the ‘bad’ self.
Which explains why we love to characterize other ‘selves’ as ‘the bad self.’ We are just trying to ‘get to know our ‘self’’ better. Or, we are trying to ‘offset’ our bad behavior onto ‘others.’
Politics (Polarization): Zero and One
Explaining politics. And, polarization. In general.
