Biceps and Triceps

What is an antagonistic pair of arm muscles?

Either biceps or triceps alone will leave your arm locked in a cramp. There needs to be some dynamic tension and some give and take to get things done.

Ideas are like that. If you are like me, you want information that adds a bit to what you know even if it turns out you have been wrong about things. The joy is in the understanding. Not everybody is like me. There are people who would rather see a persuasive rendering of their own opinions and a thorough trashing of the opposition, fragmenting the spirit of the age into warring tribes with mutually exclusive ideologies. For them the joy is in the fight. That is a dead end where even the winners are losers because nobody changes their mind and little is accomplished. There needs to be some dynamic tension and some give and take to get things well done.

The issue that gets most of my attention is climate change. There is much to be said from many points of view. I recommend the presentation in the link below which is informative and motivating. Set aside 90 minutes, get comfortable and add a bit to what you know.
