When things are sharp, they lend themselves to easy measurement, quantification, and categorisation. Capitalism, a direct product of such sharp delineation, operates on defined, predictable rules. In our human relationships, we often strive to delineate clearer lines, perceiving blurred boundaries as obstacles. Yet, how can we simultaneously remain open to the visitations of the “other” or the numinous, allowing transformation to occur? Blurriness, in contrast, presents an invitation to potent creation. In quantum entanglement, the notion of sharp distinction dissolves as entities merge in a symbiosis so profound that distinguishing one individual from the other becomes impossible. By embracing blurriness and understanding it as a fundmental feature of reality we learn to live with the unpredictable potential of ambiguity and misunderstandings, from which new and unexpected ideas can born. In contrast, sharpness tends to uphold the status quo, creating an echo chamber of mirrors where change is stifled, inhibiting growth. |
