one way or the other

  We live in a binary world. There is no denying it. I can only smile at those attempting to say otherwise. There is right and wrong, left and right, positive and negative. There is up and down. Even in the three dimensional world there are really only two choices if you think about it. You may be performing multiple actions simultaneously but each action is a binary function. And as far as neutrality goes, neutrality is just indecision, eventually a choice will be made, or you will die having remained indecisive. You know we all hear that Switzerland is famously neutral but that is a relatively new thing for them. It actually began in 1815 in a declaration at the conference of Vienna. In 2022 Switzerland imposed economic sanctions on Russia, not such a neutral stance. They felt a choice was necessary and broke that neutrality. It was a binary action, the implementation of a sanction. All neutrality is simply potential.

  That is best explained by an electrical circuit. The energy from a battery is potential energy. It remains neutral until a circuit is completed, a decision made. It's the same with all energy regardless of the source. Energy, as a stand alone thing is just potential. A decision has to be made to utilize that energy in a productive manner. It can also be used in a destructive manner if that is the choice. It's a binary decision. That's the reason for positive and negative terminals, it does require both in order to function, just like people. We have to decide on that, positivity or negativity. The choice will be made to satisfy our own wants or needs. We call the negative wire the neutral wire in a 110V circuit. It's purpose is to return current to ground completing the circuit. Remember that energy can not be created or destroyed only changed from one state to another. There are two states of energy, kinetic and potential. A binary thing once again. It's true regardless of the source of that energy, by whatever means it is produced.

  We exercise judgement and discretion in order to reach a binary decision. That's how it works. That's how a scale works as well, it's a balance. In the neutral state all things are even. But then something occurs, a choice is made, something shifts, and the balance is upset, a choice has been made. The scale tips in one direction! It only tips in one direction at a time, there is no third option. It's right or left, up or down, hot or cold, left or right. It is either in your favor, to your liking, or it is not. Perhaps your choice is to remain neutral, that doesn't change the binary state of things. 

  Only by the breaking of that neutrality will an action occur. A decision made. There is fact and there is fiction. Binary. Just who gets to decide which is which? We are told to trust the science. Okay, science tells us everything is binary. It's true there are aberrations, abnormalities and disfigurements galore, exceptions to the rule, the existence of the unexpected. It's also true they are all a departure from a binary state. They are either normal or abnormal. Normal is established by nature, not by man. And yes there are aberrations in nature, in the natural world as well. 

  Man adapts to nature, nature does not adapt to man. It's a binary thing. Should you choose to embrace the abnormal, that in itself is a binary choice. It doesn't change anything, abnormal remains abnormal. If your argument hinges on changing the scientific norm, that is an admission that whatever it is that you're trying to change is abnormal. If it weren't, you wouldn't be trying to change it. What you really want is neutrality. It's not going to happen, at least not for long it won't. History shows us that, even Switzerland couldn't do that. Do not confuse science with emotions, with feelings. That is another subject altogether. Human nature begins to deviate from nature in early childhood, influenced by the world around us. That is another field of study. It's the study of why we make our choices. And we always choose one way or the other. You just made a choice.  ( Did you agree or disagree) You chose one way or the other.
