   I also came up with an argument that, to the best of my knowledge, has not   
   been made. It is about distinction between valued and non-valued dualities.   
      
   The non-valued dualities are ones made from the standpoint of reality:   
   Dualities such as man and woman, nature and civilization, business and labor.   
   These dualities are not related to moral judgment. This means that both are   
   capable of right, wrong,    
   indifferent or a mix. In these dualities, both sides can be right and wrong.   
   The correct approach to dealing with non-valued dualities is to maximize their   
   positive potentials and minimize their negative potentials. In these, neither   
   is good and neither    
   is bad; both are capable of both.   
      
   The valued dualities are ones made from the standpoint of moral judgment:   
   Dualities such as good and evil or health and sickness. In these dualities,   
   one side is good and the other is bad. The correct approach to these dualities   
   is to maximize the good    
   side and minimize the bad side.   
      
   Confusing one for the other is one of the worst intellectual errors that one   
   can make. It results in such errors as thinking men to be good and women to be   
   evil, or labor is good and business is evil, or private sector is good and   
   government is evil; or    
   else thinking that good and evil are of equal value. In both cases a great   
   wrong is done. In the first scenario, the wrong consists of enabling any   
   action - including severely wrong action - on the part of one side, while   
   oppressing the other side even    
   in its capacity to produce good results. In the second scnearion, the wrong   
   consists of supporting things that are wrong and deeming them equal to things   
   that are good. Once again, in both cases a great wrong is done. Good and evil   
   are not equal or    
   anything close to being equal. As for men and women, they are in fact equal   
   – both in the capacity to do right and the capacity to do wrong.   
      
   The valued dualities and non-valued dualities are not created equal. In one   
   situation, both sides are capable of both evil and good. In the other   
   situation, one side is good and the other is bad, period.   
      
   So in dealing with valued dualities, the solution is to maximize one and   
   minimize the other. And in dealing with non-valued dualities, the solution is   
   to maximize the positive outcomes of each and their interaction while   
   minimizing the negatives of each.   
      
   I do not believe that this argument has been made, and it needs to be. This   
   will clear up a lot of confusion that many people have on many subjects.
