Our Bipolar Universe and Selves

10/17/2020

We live in a bipolar universe.
There is nothing in existence that is not bipolar.
Bipolar means both/and are true, not either/or.
That means we need to learn to see — and balance — the bipolar in everything.
Select the best of both worlds and integrate them.
Including the best of our bipolar selves.
We are bipolar.
That is not a pathology.
Being unable or unwilling to balance our bipolar natures is where pathology can take hold.

Extroversion is pathological when it is not balanced with introversion.
Introversion is pathological when it is not balanced with extroversion.

Embrace our bipolar nature.
Become skilled at balancing every facet of the equal opposites within and without.
That’s a life skill I can get behind.
That’s how we end all wars for all time, too.
The wars within us, and without.

I have the intelligence to know I am stupid, and the arrogance to experiment. Both are key scientific values.

Goal

To express solution-oriented arguments toward a healthier self and world.

Insights

No 'system' is corrupt;
each person within it chooses to go along instead of doing what's right.
---
No technology is bad, each person who uses it chooses to behave or not within it.
---
If we agreed upon and prioritized a handful of core values, everything we say and do would reflect those values, even as time and technology changed.
---
If we applied polarity physics to everyday life, we would recognize the importance of balancing the best of both light and dark aspects, instead of knee-jerking from one unbalanced extreme to another like a free radical.
---
Emotions are vital yet never an adult's excuse for responding immaturely. Instead, see emotional spikes, whether positive or negative, as a sign to slow down, backup, and proceed with informed caution or change direction.
