>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 27 22:22:04 2020 No.16891620 >>16890878 Accept the opposing thoughts independently but simultaneously, then join them by creating a logical bridge using your own psyche. Doing so synthesizes a new idea; maybe write this idea down in a book if it's important.

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 27 22:57:04 2020 No.16891850 I would recommend marking a synthesis of these ideas. Alternatively, you could do a Socratic discussion about a topic with a friend or you could write your thoughts down.
