Episode notes
Coincidence of Opposites
- Opposites are not irreconcilable, but facets of the same thing.
- This is reflected in our love of straight lines, where ends seem to diverge.
Brain Hemispheres and Nature
- Brain hemispheres cooperate by opposing each other, similar to nature.
- Nature's history is not just competition, but also cooperation, leading to collaboration.
Oneness and Manyness
- The phrase "all is one" is true, but so is "all is many."
- The cosmos unfolds individuation from union, enriching the whole through distinction without separation.
