A Step Towards Freedom, as an Escape from Binary Arguments.
Binary Arguments in General I shall attempt to be as succinct as possible in my opening statements on binary arguments. I beg your forgiveness, if I seem to trail off from time to time. As I write this essay, more and more connections to the subject matter are being made. So the matter at hand is the binary argument: specifically how it engenders an enslaving and stupefying paradigm. The binary argument is simple to define: It represents any argument where the individual is left fighting for their position as either a or not a . By this I am referring to a single variable, which can have either a positive or negative value, as opposed to a multiple variable system, such as if not a , then b . This is a problem because it can derail our ability to achieve goals, think creatively, and furthermore deprive us of our creative ability. How does it do this, one might ask. I shall give a short anecdote from my own experience.
