Structural traces remain in words like froth
on the rim of opportunities lost
when the city built over the green land
of wilderness packaged literal shadows
of tomorrow's yin yang ideas
fought in the war over political prisoners
contesting methods for delivering more product
resources consumable and with disposable debt
given cardboard hamburger filler yet
When the dialectic of political evolution ignores
358 degrees of other directions
when observation sentences are supplanted
propositions of historical theories stitched together
abstractions of loyal percentages
specialists arguing for truth-values in language
might have known if the light had been better
if empty continents without electronics
had the same political philosophy of right
as Venn diagrams of Eurasian states
alliances of social class kaleidoscopes
viewed objectively in existentialist percepts
rushed without adequate political philosophy
with declining resources, independence and truth
without moderating toward process utopia arranged like apparitions of hope and change
With the guidance of Christ to endure
through the secular,
through rampant decay
a shining smoldering ruined civilization on a hill
transformed mass conformity
into egalitarianism of ashes
in entropy's stable state
become one answer to the puzzle of how
evolution continued in the loss of individualism
with reform of capitalism.

Dialectical method and dualism
Another way to understand dialectics is to view it as a method of thinking to overcome formal dualism and monistic reductionism.[59] For example, formal dualism regards the opposites as mutually exclusive entities, whilst monism finds each to be an epiphenomenon of the other. Dialectical thinking rejects both views. The dialectical method requires focus on both at the same time. It looks for a transcendence of the opposites entailing a leap of the imagination to a higher level, which (1) provides justification for rejecting both alternatives as false and/or (2) helps elucidate a real but previously veiled integral relationship between apparent opposites that have been kept apart and regarded as distinct. For example, the superposition principle of quantum physics can be explained using the dialectical method of thinking—likewise the example below from dialectical biology. Such examples showing the relationship of the dialectic method of thinking to the scientific method to a large part negates the criticism of Popper (see text below) that the two are mutually exclusive. The dialectic method also examines false alternatives presented by formal dualism (materialism vs idealism; rationalism vs empiricism; mind vs body, etc.) and looks for ways to transcend the opposites and form synthesis. In the dialectical method, both have something in common, and understanding of the parts requires understanding their relationship with the whole system. The dialectical method thus views the whole of reality as an evolving process.
