Dialectical thinking..

[Magical Realist]

Taking a binary position, like a pro or a con, is the easy way. Society rewards and strokes us for being so identifiable and clearcut. But if you really want to understand something, learn to entertain two opposing ideas at the same time. The truth is never absolute. It is always relational and contingent.

I believe you are correct. One can create a deceptive image of their beliefs for the simple sake of deception. I should know. I have a way of boosting my intellect to ultimate levels and writing things like this:

Revisiting Anslem
1. Anything is possible.

2. Mind can create anything.

3. Therefore, existence is created by mind. ?


For if anything is possible without intelligence, chaos and randomness must then ensue, which is not the case with design, so intelligence does not merely achieve a pattern within chaos, it creates it. The mind rather than the intelligence is the brain, the operation of free will, determinism and self-determination all combined. If intelligence is the effect of this combination and not the cause, then mind is both a qualitative and quantitative dimension existing as a separate quality from the object world while being greater than the quantitative aspect of the brain.
