“The Test Of A First-Rate Intelligence Is The Ability To Hold Two Opposed Ideas In The Mind At The Same Time, And Still Retain The Ability To Function.”

The next sentence is false. The previous sentence is true.

Did that make sense to you? Or did your head explode?

The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.

If you can’t live in a world where two truths oppose each other, then you can’t live in this world.

For we live in a world of grey, not black and white. The best thought to oppose a true statement is another true statement.

Can you live in a world where truths collide?

Falsely yours,
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald
