It is through what I call the positive middle path. I don’t       mean just any middle path, as the middle can be found in all sorts of       undesirable places. I mean        the positive middle path, that combines what each side is right about while       confronting what each side is wrong about.       >       > In conflicts such as between business and labor, or men and women, or nature       and civilization, neither side is good and neither side is bad. Both are       capable of both. Business is right to pursue prosperity and opportunity; labor       is right to protect        itself from predatory and corrupt business practices. Women have right to       pursue a safe life inside the home and a fulfilling life outside the home; men       have right to protect themselves from cruelty and nastiness by feminists. It       is right to pursue        scientific and technological progress; it is also right to protect nature from       blind and irreversible destruction.       >       > Well isn’t this eating your cake and having it too? No, it is using       intelligence to achieve win-win scenarios. In all these cases, we are dealing       with powers that can go either right or wrong. In dealing with powers that can       either go right or wrong,        it is not right to take either side. It is right to see who is right and about       what, and to relate to the situation from that premise.       >       > Both business and labor can be good or bad. Both men and women can be good       or bad. Both nature and civilization can be good or bad. Neither exists from       the standpoint of moral judgment. All exist from the standpoint of reality.       When dealing with things        that exist from the standpoint of reality, independent of moral judgment, the       solution is to see who is right and about what. And it is to empower the first       while confronting the second.       >       > When that is not done, we see hideous outcomes. What we see is empowering       one side in all sorts of corrupt and tyrannical practices while oppressing the       other side even in its ability to produce good results. We see this both with       people who are only        pro-business and with people who are only pro-labor. We see this both with       people who are only pro-woman and with people who are only pro-man. We see       this both with people who are only pro-nature and with people who are only       pro-civilization. In all        cases a great wrong is done.       >       > In all these cases, neither side is good and neither side is bad. Both are       capable of both. The correct solution is to see what each side is right about       and support it, while also seeing what each side is wrong about and       confronting it.       >       > I therefore recommend a positive middle path.
