GLOBAL STRATEGIC HYPOTHESES.

Dear Reader,

When you are confronted by two “sides”, violently opposed to one another, please do not feel that you have to choose one side or the other.

The formation and sustainment of mutually-negating “sides” is a sign that both “sides” are wrong.

The fact that such, “one-sided”, “sides” are in conflict means that they are both wrong, as well as that they are, in a sense that escapes them both, both right.

To persist for any substantial duration, each such “side” must contain some kernel of the truth, the truth of one side’s seed seemingly excluding the truth of other side’s seed.

The mutual denial of such “sides” typically points to the existence a third, non-“side”, which reconciles by also transcending both sides’ seeds of truth: namely, their dialectical synthesis.

Locate that dialectical synthesis, if you can, and uphold it, despite the fact that both of the opposing “sides” will then suddenly agree in opposing you!

In «mentalités» trapped in Boolean-Aristotelian “Logic”, each “side” treats the other side as “absolutely” false, as a Boolean “zero”; as “absolutely” wrong.

Each side also arrogantly regards itself as “absolutely” true, as a Boolean “one”; as 100% correct.

Each “side” tells some critical truths about the other “side”, but lies about itself – fails to immanently critique itself.

This self-regarding of each “side” as “everything” true, and its regarding of the other “side” as an “absolute”, Boolean 0, a “nothingness” of truth, is a recipe for violence and war.

If carried through to its ultimate extension, it is a recipe for the self-extinction of humanity; for our species FAILING its looming ‘Meta-Darwinian Planetary Fitness Test’.

In a more realistic logic, the antithesis of

[ q₁ ~ q₂]

moves on to the synthesis of

[ [ q₁ ~ q₂] ~ q₃],

i.e., to –

[ [ q₁ ~ q₂] ~ q₂₊₁].

In Boole’s original logic-arithmetic and logic-algebra, while still keeping, immanently, within the, ‘quasi-Boolean’, unit interval typical of algebraic logics, a better approximation to reality is gleaned by equating the two Boolean opposites for the ‘‘‘time during which true’’’ of a given proposition, call it t, and for the ‘‘‘time during which true’’’ of the Boolean negation of t, i.e., of

(1 – t) –

t = (1 – t)

\ t = 1/2

\ also (1 – t) = 1/2

– that is, one side’s proposition is true “half” of the time, and the other side’s proposition is true the other “half” of the time.

Neither proposition is true “eternally” –

– “t = 1” –

– or true never –

“t = 0”.

Of course, proportions may vary.

P.S. What Seldon has attempted to do, in “Marx’s Missing Blueprints”, is to unify the seeds of truth of both “conservative” anti-socialism, and of “socialist” anti-capitalism, into a viable model for a successful successor system to the capitalist system.
