What about the notion that the best objectivity is absolute subjectivity? What about the notion that naievety is the same thing as true understanding?
What about belief in a proven fact?
What about how crying and laughing become the same sound when expressed at their most audible extremes?
All these things are contradictory, are they not? |
The only way to avoid contradictions is to use sentential tautologies, large and powerful enough, yet concise enough, to avoid such contradictabilities. This is a most difficult task...
best of luck
p.s.
tautologies is to be interpreted as powerful sentential logical statements, of logic, within themselves.
