The overwhelming problem is that the sides are pushing on a flat plane, like a dinner plate. the yin-yang of it is that there is, and probably will always be, a nearly 50-50 split among humanity, if it continues to choose to divide itself into the simplistic dynamic of 'liberal/left' and 'conservative/right'. the fighting would therefore be infinite.

Brad:

Your quote above, and your comments of SPHERICAL THINKING relate to something I discuss in my book, in a chapter entitled THINKING OCTOPHORUSLY. The word 'octophorus' defines something has having eight equal components. I describe this process as the balance between four intersecting axis points:

01) Mental vs. Physical

02) Intuition vs. Logic

03) Emotion vs. Intellect

04) Reflex vs. Reason

The balance of these eight axis points introduce multi-dimensional thought to any person who wishes to use it. Although it took me numerous LSD trips to discover this for myself --- I am willing to share this with the world because of the destruction of CRITICAL THINKING in our culture.

When these eight components are used properly, it is to the benefit of the individual. I wanted to attempt to describe in understandable terms how thinking in full multi-dimensionality can benefit the individual.

Also, your understanding of the dualistic dialectic mindfuck that is perpetrated against those who believe in the RIGHT/LEFT, US/ THEM, BLACK/WHITE vision of the world is correct. This system has been set in place for a reason, which you so eloquently describe as producing "infinite fighting." The dialectic model is so sneaky that those who deny its' existance, prove the very thing they deny.

And yes, I do agree that it is also a TOP/BOTTOM situation --- with them on the TOP and us on the BOTTOM. This fits in so many ways --- finances, education, development of intellect, social standing, privilege, and so on, right down the line.

Until we can break free of this paradigm (and the one about the press being liberal) --- we are doomed to keep playing the same song over and over --- ad nauseum, ad infinitum.
