@bag.a.6465 The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. Our experiences in the world are often complex, ambiguous, and ill-defined. We must be able to accommodate conflicting hypotheses. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise.
A broad-minded man, who can see both sides of the question and is ready to hold opposed truths while confessing that he cannot reconcile them, is at a manifest disadvantage with a narrow-minded man who sees but one side, sees it clearly, and is ready to interpret the whole Bible, or, if need be, the whole universe, in accordance with his formula. And yet, the truest sign of intelligence is the ability to entertain two contradictory ideas simultaneously.
