quoting the headline from an Aeon article
Colin Dickey
The point of this brief mention is that above is a great example of binary thought. " Technological progress" is GOOD, OR is BAD. Wait though, it is both, of course it is both. Technological progress is good and it is bad. This obviousness is hidden because we see above our rational, ordinary mind at work. Our binary mind--- everything has to be this or that. Two choices. Both/and is ignored.
Is not both/and also binary? But it points to a greater complexity, and really, considering the point of this post, we have to say reality surely is either/or AND, it is at the same time, BOTH/AND.
I can't help this reality--- I didn't make this planet.
