Reading this article by Charlie Awbery and this twitter exchange, I'm thinking about paradox and contradictions and What are Opposites?
- Tweets
- And it seems there's sort of a few basic metaphors here:
  - cyclical process, eg in-breath out-breath
    - relates to the idea of "balance" - be careful with that

  - oscillating contradiction (similar to above)
    - buzzer in circuit
    - i/j in paradox logic
  - self-destructive contradiction
    - ?
  - double bind
  - higher-dimensional thinking
    - Higher Dimensional Thinking, the End of Paradox, and a More Adequate Understanding of Reality
  - goals that are incompatible might be resolveable with higher-dimensional thinking or they might amount to a double bind or oscillating contradiction (similar to above)
