In Roger's summary there are six Advantage/Disadvantage pairs that each
describe an ambivalence:

Implicit versus Explicit Relationships
Version #1
Advantage: Specific relationship
Disadvantage: Unspecific relationship
Version #2
Advantage: Unambiguous relationship
Disadvantage: Ambiguous relationship
Tight Coupling vs Loose Coupling
Version #1
Advantage: Easy processing
Disadvantage: Difficult processing
Version #2
Advantage: Easy processing
Disadvantage: Difficult processing
Nested (hierarchical) Data vs Flat Data
Version #1
Advantage: Easy to perceive
Disadvantage: Difficult to conceive
(A dualist conception of the aesthetic, the ambivalence could be seen as a
symptom)
Version #2
Advantage: Easy to conceive
Disadvantage: Difficult to perceive
(see above)
Best Practice
Repeats the inversion process but doesn't exactly describe an ambivalence
and (practically speaking) ought to be read: [it is] Best [to] Practice,
meaning write, write, write and meet every opportunity with the abyss (not
in a pejorative sense, quite the opposite) of answers that your mind is.
Chiseling rules for design in stone is an attempt at making ambivalence
persist (ha ha MK). Write, write, write (I clearly need to hear these three
words, eh?) momentum, Len was saying something about this in the last couple
weeks, passion, in the strictest sense: suffering, shoot, I'll be using the
word moral in a second and have to explain myself. Cells are living and
dying at the same time, the mind is doing the same thing: living and dying,
loving and hating, 'doing' and not 'doing.' Do and don't ever doubt your
ability to do.
