The Manichean fallacy has been genetically edited into the Western national psyche( through common socially accepted psychological trauma features of modern life as epigenetic trigger mechanism) as a tool for demonstrating how stupid we are, thus deserving of being robbed, poisoned, imprisoned, lied to, exploited, and cleansed from the earth. Ostensibly for exhaling CO2, potentially having a conscience, and farting methane. The trope usually concludes with an I blame statement...but we really do need to start thinking differently and acting unlike the problem don't we... the beauty of a total collapse personal or societal is the moment where we get to make new dreams, hold ourselves personally responsible to create the social contract many people already live by, and seek redemption until it is found.
Yes. One symptom is the apparent religious belief that there can be only one cause for a phenomenum. Eg, the germ theory vs terrain theory. Fanatics for both theories don't seem to recognize that both poor terrain and germs are required for illness (in most cases). Toxins that overwhelm the body's terrain are the most obvious exception, but then they aren't germs, are they?
For my part, the closest I come to being Manichean is my belief that government-created limited liability private corporations are central to most of the problems of modern society. However, even there the belief that collectives should have the same rights as individual human organisms is also a cause of those problems.
