Did you not see the words "it seems unlikely"?

If you want to play cop for absolute statements, you'll find plenty in the claims you make.
So a sole perspective can exist for the above?
What are you talking about?

It appears more like one extreme will crush another.

For example, extreme brutality will crush extreme intellectualism, as evidenced by the many intellectuals, and others, murdered by their own tyrannical rulers in the 20th century.

Balance is not present when absent, and what is not present cannot have actual manifested extremes. However, what is not present can have imaginary extremes within infinite potentiality, and the manifestation of any of those extremes is subject to probability of the right elements combining in the necessary proportions.

A balanced relationship of physical stasis is achieved when the chunky kid moves closer to the teeter-totter fulcrum, but then their feet can't reach the ground for the pushing off, and fun. :P

You are creating a single perspective.

Balance and imbalance are opposites thus extremes relative to the other. To have a state of complete balance relative to an imbalance is to have one state as an extreme to the other. Extremes are a dichotomy.

I still have no idea why you're saying that, or what it has to do with anything. Perhaps you're trying to invalidate my response somehow, but that seems pointless considering what I said.

Truth doesn't need to be complicated or owned.

How is the job to be done, selected? What makes the job selected, what it is that must be done?
