“In philosophy, dialectics captures the same dynamic. Ideas move through three stages: thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. The thesis represents an idea that somehow dominates some sphere of life. The antithesis represents its opposite. When two ideas clash, they create a synthesis—a higher development of those two opposing ideas. The tech entrepreneur Jon Lonsdale explains this process, common in business: “Deep truths exist at both extremes of a dialectic, and the wisest stance on an issue will incorporate both of the opposites within itself.” Nothing is absolute; nothing is forever; meaning is never fixed. Truth can only be found in change.”
