I just uncovered another line written by Eric Hoffer, which I believe, is a postulate of his about moderation serving as a fundamental ethical and metaphysical rule governing the universe.
In that published collection of his newspaper essays, entitled The Syndicated News Articles, Page 234. Hoffer writes: "In human affairs every solution only serves to sharpen the problem, to show us more clearly what we are up against. There are no final solutions."
There is no infallible truth, no indubitable ideology, no incorrigible version of how reality works. At least there are none--at least for now and likely never will be--intelligible and translatable into plain, clear, concise human language.
Inconsistent propositions teach us truth as well as monistic claims to one point of being absolutely true and its opposite viewpoint being completely false and erroneous.
