S2 Ep. 162 The Median Thinking

Send us Fan MailObserving nature can be fun and intriguing at the same. It is laced with so many details, so much will be revealed with careful attention. I have come to notice and appreciate how our minds work in how we perceive things and apply ourselves by leaning on our weight of conviction, which, more often than not, is misplaced.I see median thinking in practically every aspect of our lives, where we compare almost everything, which brings about this complex visualization of things on the platform of values. An excellent example of this is the Yin and yang visualizationIn the context of thinking or philosophy, "yin and yang thinking" might be applied to approaches that embrace both sides of duality, recognizing the balance and interdependence between seemingly opposing ideas. Here are some key aspects:1.    Balance: Yin and yang are often depicted as complementary opposites that balance each other. Similarly, Yin and Yang thinking may involve seeking a balanced perspective, considering both sides of an argument or situation.2.    Interconnectedness: The yin-yang symbol illustrates the idea that there's a bit of each within the other. In thinking, this could imply recognizing that elements of one idea may be present in its apparent opposite, fostering a more holistic understanding.3.    Harmony: Yin and yang are not in constant conflict but exist in dynamic harmony. This could translate to seeking harmony between different viewpoints or finding ways for seemingly conflicting ideas to coexist.4.    Cyclical Nature: The concept of Yin and yang also involves cycles of transformation. Thinking about Yin and yang might involve understanding that situations or ideas evolve and that change is a natural part of the process.Applying yin and yang thinking can be a way to cultivate a more comprehensive and adaptable mindset, acknowledging the complexity and interplay of various factors in different situations.I have seen this complexity play out in the gender equality discourse, which is how I perceive it.There is equality in worth and hierarchy in function. The hierarchy here does not suggest superiority; instead, it points to the expected harmony that should arise from the inter-relationship differences, where each note leans on the uniqueness of the other in creating that soothing and refreshing melody.Support the showYou can support this show via the link below;https://www.buzzsprout.com/1718587/supporters/new
