Re: Seeds of Freedom
It is also necessary because we are such complex minded creatures too. Maybe you are just seeing the one side of it? The Binary could organize huge amounts of information thus getting good depth on points. In this sense, methinks both systems are applicable. The truth stands on its own merit....

Re: Seeds of Freedom
I'm a sociopathic minion of a corrupted society! What "others" that "have shown you reasons not to" here are you exactly referring to UncleZook? and please be advised that failure to directly respond to this or any other of my questions clearly portrays you for what you truly represent as a human being! "Andy's moronic powers of observation against objective analysis", the "objective analysis" being yours I take it??? Didn't we have this discussion a few months ago? remember when I suggested to you that it is far more impressive when people discover your good quality's without your help! I was hoping this time around to see a higher level of maturity in you posts, twas not to be. Alas, poor UncleSpook! I knew him, Chico.

Re: Seeds of Freedom
Among number systems, binary is the simplest, but it is the most inefficient system for organizing huge amounts of information. For example, the number 255 requires eight digits to store in binary (11111111), whereas only two digits are necessary in hexadecimal (FF). Computers use binary because the original transistors only had two states, on and off, like a light switch. Biological systems are not limited to two states. For example, DNA uses a base 4 or quaternary state system. Could I just be seeing one side of it? Are humans both simple-minded and complex-minded? I think humans are not complex-minded at all, though they can be slightly less simple-minded at times. But sure, I could be wrong. Make the case for complex-minded humans and perhaps I will be obliged to change my tune.

Binary Opposition? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_opposition

Quote:
In critical theory, a binary opposition (also binary system) is a pair of related terms or concepts that are opposite in meaning. Binary opposition is the system by which, in language and thought, two theoretical opposites are strictly defined and set off against one another.[1] It is the contrast between two mutually exclusive terms, such as on and off, up and down, left and right.[2] Binary opposition is an important concept of structuralism, which sees such distinctions as fundamental to all language and thought.[3] In structuralism, a binary opposition is seen as a fundamental organizer of human philosophy, culture, and language.

Re: Seeds of Freedom
This Buddaha quote is truth Chic, and this board is an example of it. Perhaps you are making the case for yourself all along? Perhaps another analogy is the lore of the Crossroads? Or the Crux. Can you not see how binary thinking is involved in basic life?

Re: Seeds of Freedom
There are other ways to make the same rationalization that are also true but equally meaningless. For example, there is unity and disunity, which gives us another binary. That means we have the idea of disunity, and of course the prior idea of unity, so now we have four instead of two, a quaternary. Am I being complex-minded? I'm just a stupid human that seems smart because he knows he's stupid. Remember, when at the crossroads, that you are not obliged to stay on the beaten path, so the binary decision is a self-limitation and an illusion. Yes, it dominates our thinking and is one of the weaknesses that the ruling sociopaths use against us. It's the Obama or Romney decision, where either choice is harmful. If you want to control a simple-minded creature, give him only two choices. If you give him no choice, he will know he is enslaved and resist. If you give him two choices that you select, he believes he is free because he can choose, and thus will not resist. Yet he is still enslaved by the master who selects the choices.

Re: Seeds of Freedom
Yes Chic you understand the simplicity of it and the corruption of it. Can you see the benefits of it?

Re: Seeds of Freedom
Yes, it gives us a primitive tool that helps simple minds begin to understand the complexities of the universe. Our error is in concluding with certainty that the gross approximations it leads us to are accurate. Do I pass?
