excellent article. We humans are capable of dualistic modes of thought, and all our groups and teams are a blend of these divergent views. We aren't binary. We are incredibly complex.
which is why we are capable of holding both liberal and conservative cultural views at once and blend them within our own psyches to form our own approaches.
We are not "democrats" or "republicans." We aren't even "liberal" or "conservative" , at least not as a label of a binary definitive.
We are like water , this way.
I think our success going forward is, as a macro view of what you eloquently described here, is the ability to integrate seemingly opposing views (NOT opposing facts - that would be more like Orwell's "doublethink" which is the opposite of integration).
Forces of media and cultural/political leadership have somehow convinced many of us that we are in fact binary in our psyche and worldview. They got us there by discounting and punishing open debate and discussion.
We're not an integrated society because so many of us have been fooled into not being integrated people. It's false.

I suspect so
