Star Wars films would have been very much improved by having force-sensitive students who challenged the thinking of their teachers.

Consider the following statements by Jedi to people they trained or are training:

• "Only a Sith deals in absolutes." - Obi-Wan to Anakin in Revenge Of The Sith
• "Do ... or do not. There is no try." - Yoda to Luke in The Empire Strikes Back

Those are both absolute statements themselves, so... are those Jedi admitting that they're Sith themselves, or just so indoctinated that they can't see the paradox?

It would have been very funny to us if Anakin had responded by Obi-Wan with something like:

"Oh, so you're a Sith, then?"

The Jedi should have died, but in the sense of abandoning their flawed, binary, and absolute methods of thinking.

If the Force is about balance, then maybe pretending that it's a binary and only teaching people about one aspect of it isn't actually that sensible, huh?

Oh. We just realised this isn't just a vent about Star Wars 😅

We're now headcanoning grey force users as non-binary

When you live in a world built on ones and zeros, it’s no surprise that everything in between gets filtered out.

A great article on avoiding binary thinking in design, from @Cjforms.

"The world is analog and yes/no is a binary choice, so the two options rarely reflect the real world entirely accurately."

We aren't going to make it much longer unless we are willing to see where we might be wrong. And then fix it.

I am a long time Tim Minchin fan, and I have always appreciated his incisive and biting takes on humanity's foibles. I think there's something in this for everyone - especially those of us looking down on the people who are still stuck @ Twitter, Facebook and other spaces which make all of the binary thinking so very much worse. And part of me hopes that @timminchin is not only really Tim Minchin, but that he monitors fedi and at some point decides to post here, even if it's clear that the big celebrity accounts that have taken a public stand and moved here, have not got the engagement they used to.
