FROM DICHOTOMY TO ENTANGLED

FROM DICHOTOMY TO ENTANGLED Rather than either-or dichotomies: both may be right or both wrong, if considered to be entangled photons. The above thought occurs to me, when I consider that African slavery existed, BOTH, in other British colonies and in the colonial United States in 1777, when Thomas Paine wrote: "[e]ither we or Britain are absolutely right or absolutely wrong through the whole ." P.119, "The American Crisis," THOMAS PAINE (1955, 1984) Both 1777 parties were "absolutely wrong," history and sociology have now shown. Looking back, either-or logical dichotomies often tend to circumvent, proscribe foursquare consideration of other possibilities .
