The curse of conceptualization and the way out of it

Conceptualization creates a curse on humanity by pushing us towards an ultimate agreement (ie, the truth, right and wrong, the answer of everything, the true tree of life, and so on…) which actually can’t be reached per definition, because conceptualization is orthogonal and thereby fundamentally paradoxically contradictory, as also Russell’s paradox demonstrates. This curse is the reason for all different kinds of beliefs, their extremists and the battles between them.

The only way out from this curse is to reach an agreement about this fact (ie, to agree about that conceptualization is orthogonal and thereby ultimately paradoxically contradictory), meaning that we acknowledge ultimate variation instead of ultimate agreement. We acknowledge that this fact means it is not the norm that is real, but the variation, and that variation thereby simply can’t be eradicated, but will instead split agreement infinitely. It means that our aim is not to reach agreement, but to reach compromise.  Only by this aim can we stop the vicious circle of monstrosities that humanity rotates in. The problem with these monstrosities is thus not the extremists themselves, but rather humanity’s inability to understand that every won battle just leads into a new battle between team mates. The wish for agreement splits humanity infinitely per definition, because it can’t be real, since instead variation is.

As long as we don’t understand this fact, we have to battle opponents infinitely, but as soon as we understand it, we can build a democracy of the kind we have built in Sweden starting in the year 1435 in Arboga. All that is needed is an understanding that there isn’t any ultimate truth.
