The Single Answer Fallacy In the middle of a very large, complicated machine, is the hope, dream and goal of a majority of human systems:* *A Single Answer* Historically, the basis of judicial systems, mathematics, logic, philosophy, religions, sciences, education, social norms, the realm of gossip, the archetype of the Hero and Villain, is the Fallacy of the Single Answer. To the Single Answer, all manner of that which is Pure and Right and Good and True has been ascribed to it.* Even "Nothing" has gained that level. Nothing is Forever. Nothing is Good. Nothing is Pure Oblivion has a nearly Sacred Quality for some, and in Theoretical Physics, it was once believed that, in the Center of All, was Nothing. The Glorious Zero, the Point of Balance in Accounting and the Assumption of many Universal Systems, is this "Ideal that we may never reach, but it is always taunting us, striving us to push forward towards." But however the Single Answer is heralded, it is often, quite simply, a Fallacy. There may be no answer at all.* There may be multiple answers. That is not to say that there are NO Single Answers.* I don't know that.* I believe that there are many cases where there is a Single Answer.* But often, it is but a very popular Fallacy, held by many. Why?* The Machine required to surround that Single Answer.* Take away the Machine: Is it still "the" Single Answer? -Kenneth Udut 1/8/2015
