The goal is not to tap out and run towards certainty by letting one idea when over the other, nor is it taking the competing ideas and twisting them until we find some mythical middle ground. The goal is to develop the strength and grounding required to hold the tension of two opposing ideas until a new idea is born, until something more encompassing more connected and more nuanced emerges.

Shame and humiliation will never be effective social justice tools. They are tools of oppression.

Humans get so uncomfortable straddling the tension and uncertainty that surfaces, when two seemingly opposing ideas are both valid that we often simply give up. We let go of the tension and pick one idea, normally the most familiar one and make ourselves feel better by discounting or diminishing the competing idea and/or the idea holder.
