Do you ever figure something out and think, “I’m a genius,” but then as you consider it further you think, “I’m an idiot for not figuring it out earlier”? That was my experience in struggling to prepare a sandwich on a circular plate with the bread oriented one way before realizing that changing the orientation is even an option. So which is it? Genius or idiocy? This is an example of the falsely dichotomous questions I ask myself frequently enough that I felt it would be beneficial to tattoo the answer to my arms: Both.

I also think “neither” is an acceptable answer to most of these false dichotomies. In other words, I think “both” and “neither” are BOTH acceptable, which can be summarized as “both.” 😉
