wrong number

False Dichotomies

The kind of framework, this dualistic thinking, we use can help or hurt our efforts to find a truth that is most aligned whit reality and helpful to us. It’s a wrong number that will never get you to the one you want. How we frame everything can become habitual. Too narrow a frame will hide important things about the truth from you. The polar opposites frame is one that is easy, but very obscuring. Not one i would reccomend.

Most things are on a spectrum anyway, like Justic and mercy. Absolutes are exceedinly rare. Leaning on them to percieve life as in dualistic thinking, is a good way to shoot yourself in the foot cognatively. I wish is was so simple. People who tell you it is, are probably trying to sell you something.

Viewing life in a more wholistic way, starts within. More effective ways of solving problems are waiting for us to remember them. That is where it was stopped long ago, by a forced change of spiritual outlook. WE can see , right now among the native people everywhere how devastating it is to have afaith alien to you ancestors forced on you. Some have turned to fire water and become cruel. Others cling to the alien gods. Those who held to their old ways against all odds, have still wisdom. But as a whole, so much needs repair.

Mechanistic thinking is itself impaired, and cannot help very wellin all but the simplest of cases. It even exists withing the original program. A deep inner conflict is used in this way, to manipulate the follower of this path, as migh be needed by the influencial. Human beings are flexible in the extreme, and this is what has helped us to adapt so well to every environment on thei planet. Why change something that is so wildly effective? Why force us into that bind and have us scapegoat our way out? Are we not a part of something greater, our instincts just as valid?

why is a wasp’s nest “natural”, but build-
ings created from wood, stone and brick aren’t?
what is it about human hands that gild
everything we touch, Midas inherent
.
a beaver builds a dam from logs she fells,
yet when a human cuts down trees to make
a house, suddenly there’s a golden spell
we call ‘man-made’, as though we could forsake
.
the rest of nature to build unearthly
cities of light encased in shining spheres
and deem the rest of the world unworthy,
different, a stranger to human frontiers.
.
we are strangers to ourselves, we’re no more
nor less than natural; no such touche d’or.

The natural sciences was once united. It got split into science vs religion. That was a very bad thing. It isolated humanity from BOTH. We are accidental aliens on our own world. Of course people cling wildly to the church for dear life.

She says illness is a sign that we need to change something…

The complexities of existence are beautifuly wondrous. Not at all easy to quantify or catalogue. It will be endlessly fascinating, we will never know it all. Isn’t that great? We can bathe in the wonder, the awe. The Mystery. Get comfirtable with not knowing it all, because you never will. And, you are a part of the mystery. Imaging the absrdity if reducing yourself down to a brand or a gender. Closest you’ll get is a clan name. before corporate brand names there were Clan names and colors. Once the clans had a charater. Cassidy’s for example were healers, Learned people and schollars from antiquity , with their own schools of healing and faith. Polite and curly haired. What was your clan? What will it become? have you ever seen second or 3rd generation talent?

Someday, Will there be Teck clans? The money mages never lost hold once, of their clan identity. A small clan, a weak one, is an enslaved clan. For US it is every man for himself, the easier to pick us off with. We are told out only option is to choose a form of government. But the rest of us were made to loathe and abandon ours. divide and conquer has many layers besides false dichotomy.

Terrain theory VS germ theory, a false dichotomy.

I started to study herbs and healing after i was diagnosed with cancer in 1990. It was not long before several books about terrain theory crossed my path. Because i was not learning in an institution, i was ALSO reading about traditional schools of thought like Ayurvedic medicine and traditional Chinese medicine . In Both these traditions there are ways of determining your type of terrain (if you must use that terminology) and how best to balance such (glandulars or herbs or diet). For example, IF you were to be diagnosed with a stagnation of Chi……more exercise and certain small meals might be suggested. Exercise impacts terrain. Not a specific pathogen. The small meals may include chi stimulating, flavors-targeting something Between terrain and organisms, if you must, think in this dichotomy.

Practical dichotomy vs excessively conflict driving dichotomy.

“You are either with us or with the terrorists”. A US president actually said that to the public. Bush Jr. in fact. What bearing on reality did it have? Not lots, possibly NONE. Not according to my 5 senses. I see with my eyes and hear with My ears. If you do this , a false dichotomy like this will not sway you. It is like saying perfect or imperfect. Perhaps the truth is, it’s simply unique. Perfection as a concept does not always apply. Germ theory vs terrain theory is just the unfortunate byproduct of a psychology of conflict that permeates out culture by design. It twists out view of reality in an inorganic, unhelpful way.

Back to our good shepherd……IF you are the shepherd of you gut microbiome, and your sheep are threatened by an overgrowth of Helicobacter Pylori/wolves…..then, you could try and bring in the sheepdog. Garlic the sheepdog, harries the wolves making it difficult to reach a quorum. Preventing a quorum means that the wolves cannot mount a coordinated attack because they are not able to communicate well. Lambs will still be lost……not just the old and infirm sheep though. (this only works for some bacteria, but, BUT it will not stop the attack all the way. It CAN give your immune system some very needed support) These are good dogs, but a more specific dog, like Saccharomyces Boulardii in this particular case, will Hunt the wolves and get their population down so you will not lose too much of your flock. This is Germ theory. There is great benefit to be had from using BOTH, At the same time. This is how nature can be guided by the wise shepherd. Examples of terrain theory long used, are exercise, sauna, Oxygen, high dose C, garlic, Community…..clean air, water, and food…

MASKS HURT TERRAIN, and allow unfriendlies to thrive. One variety of unfriendlies can be a problem, MANY varieties, can be a catastrophe. Terrain therapy can enhance the other, germ therapy, or whatever specific targeted tool you wish to use. There are antibiotic herbs that can and should be used. They can buy the individual TIME for their immune system to be built up enough to heal from an infection…….A more productive way to think of it Might be…general VS specific. terrain is the general environment, and a germ is a single aspect of the millions of organisms that exist within us. There are also fungi, yeasts, proteins and mineral, hormone components, oils, SO many other single aspects to effect. FOR example IF i had a spa, in it i would include a Good 170 degree sauna. Before the door of the sauna would be a shelf of herbal teas. I know the electrolyte profile of these herbal teas….and they would be required drinking before the sauna and during. Electrolyte use is a targeted therapy commonly used in fasting, sauna, exercise recovery (terrain) therapy’s. They would NOT be the same for everyone….because each person is unique, some would get peppermint, others chamomile and so on…..to protect and nourish the specific person as it is needed. You could call it mineral therapy if you wanted to create a false dichotomy again. The use of essential oils (all the rage nowadays) could also be incorporated, if needed. Double terrain therapy.

When i was a child i had to be hospitalized from double pneumonia. I was put in an oxygen tent. terrain. i got a shot. germ. Was one better than the other? I personally, like to have more tools in the tool shed, than less. Options are Good. We don’t have too many just yet. So it Can and has been treated as BOTH.

The error is in our lazy thinking. In mathematics there are absolutes, yes. In general, also yes, within a spectrum. Our thinking can be more flexible, and should be, reality certainly is. Good mental habits start early. https://www.developgoodhabits.com/false-dichotomy/

“There are two major strategies for responding to a false dichotomy fallacy:

• Show that the premises are not collectively exhaustive: If you can show that the presented options don’t actually cover all the possibilities, then you can stop the false dichotomy in its tracks. For instance, if the argument says that you have to accept either A or B, try to show that there is a 3rd possibility C or even a 4th possibility D.

• Show that the premises are not mutually exclusive: Try to show that the two presented options aren’t actually exclusive of one another. If the argument states that we have to do either A or B, try to show how A and B are not mutually exclusive options. For example, if the argument states you have to believe either A or B, try to show that one can hold both A and B without contradicting themselves.

Sometimes, a false dichotomy can be refuted by attacking an incorrect premise directly. If one of the premises of the false dichotomy is clearly incorrect, then attacking that premise directly might be more useful than showing how the presented dilemma is a false one.”

I wish this problem i see was just as simple as combating a logical fallacy. It has been shot through everything deep into our age. Learning Triads, will help. Beauty in inherently wholistic, feeds the soul, charges it with life energy. Connection with life on every level cannot be rebuilt in a generation, can it? IKN.
