The attraction and fallacy of the absolute
The absolute, the unchanging and total. These attributes are described to many phenomena. However said descriptions are wrong. If one were to look closely said "absolute" forms are composed of many contrasting smaller forms which together form an equilibrium. We gravitate to digital forms such as "warm" and "cold" due to their simplicity. 5C is cold as -40C is cold. Such steadfast absolutism is upmost attractive. However it's a mere abstraction and an imprecise one. You would need to plan differently for -40C and 5C. Keep in mind that a Celsius degree is also a digital abstraction. However said abstraction trends stronger towards the analogue axis than the binary "cold" and "warm" abstraction.
Militancy at the perceived absolute
Since the absolute is total and unchanging. Radical action is encouraged as the phenomenon is easier to understand. Of course the assumed level of comprehension is lower than the actual level of comprehension, leading to dire results.
The principle of the equilibrium
With the information above we can derive that the basic function for most phenomena is the equilibrium of it's components. Most phenomena constitutes a duality of some form. Of course with being aware of the fallacy of the absolute we can also establish that the principle isn't universal either.
