Divine Uncertainty - Quantum Thinking

Binary or black and white thinking (ie: "Yes, this is a fact/no this is not a fact") is extremely basic and is a sure way to destroy one's mind or relegate oneself to automaton status, which occupy the lower rungs of society. On the surface it appears that it is 33% less computative or less powerful, but I suggest it may be upwards of 90%, perhaps even orders of magnitude greater.

Let me explain.

Most people decide yes or no based on very simple, readily available, easily accessible data, and generally desire the immediate relief/comfort to decide as quickly as possible whether a thing is true or not - as uncertainty brings discomfort. And so in many ways, this hinders or shuts down the contemplative capacities of the mind.

Unfortunately for them, this is also where the beauty and magic lies. In the grey. That's where the fun is. It's also where all the action is, because absolutes like "yes" or "no" kill the possibility of any journey of "...maybe, let's investigate!"

Few venture into the realm of possibility, of uncertainty, because it requires courage, humility, letting go, and hanging on to nothing except the trust and confidence in themselves. In a world full of lies and deceit everywhere we turn - as it has been for thousands of years - we have nothing else to believe in and trust, except ourselves.

The most powerful minds thrive on uncertainty. Being rationally skeptic and curious. This is the path to discovery. They can accept not knowing or understanding, yet have the confidence in themselves that they can one day figure it out and will put forth a gargantuan effort to do so. They know that accepting the hand-me-down answers from God-knows-where in a society built-on-lies is akin to death and darkness.
