“If you understand something in only one way, then you don't really understand it at all.
The secret of what anything means to us depends on how we've connected it to all other things we know.
Well-connected representations let you turn ideas around in your mind, to envision things from many perspectives until you find one that works for you.
And that's what we mean by thinking!”
- Marvin Minsky
always recognise that things are right from a certain context
but wrong from another context
what is good to some people or some situations might be bad in other situations
'it all depends'
Hermes taught about the 'law of polarity'
there is not just 'hot' and 'cold'
there is extremely hot, quite hot, hot, a bit hot, not very hot, warm, cool, cold, quite cold, bloody cold, freakin freezing cold
just as 'everything is energy' and 'everything is material' are both true
Hermes said "all truths are but half truth
