Involuteness is a fancy way of saying that moderation is the human condition. We are an existential paradox. We are part angel and part beast. We are born evil, selfless, hating, hateful and destructive, and , recessively, we are naturally good, self-interested, loving, lovable and creative.
We are self-contradictory. Our thinking is inconsistent. We choose by reasoning, by feeling, by hunch and by instinct. Our involved, complex natures and outlooks render all that we do and are as a paradox, a puzzle. We are transparent, and we are obscure. We are deep and we are seen through like vinegar in a tablespoon. We are human and involuteness is our destiny, our make-up. Moderation is satisfying and legitimatizing all sides of our competing clamoring urges, without going public with a one-sided or out of balance personality.
