We could describe this as “quantum thought”: being able to contemplate 0 and 1 simultaneously, as well as the spectrum of probability between. If you can cultivate honest humility, you may just learn how to hold all three in superposition without any grasping after certainty, and thereby make more balanced decisions.

Thinking in terms of complementary opposites is important. In a complex world, complete planning and prediction is impossible. The most brilliant minds can hold two opposing thoughts in mind at the same time.

Those who have positively changed the world did so because they learnt how to negotiate complexity, rather than impose their own will on things.
