Most of us have completely misunderstood both Zeno’s paradox and Schrodinger’s cat. Neither of those figures were intended to show ‘what is true’ or what Zeno or Schrodinger believed, rather, the opposite. What they »knew to be in error.

Zeno was showing us that the aspect of consciousness or intelligence that »cuts things into separate parts, lays waste to insight, entirely, and produces nonsense from the direct experience of time.

Schrodinger, in his way, was not telling us that ‘the cat is both alive and dead’, but rather that the »mode of thinking that insists on nonsense… »produces nonsense from what would otherwise become enacted insight.

There is a similar problem with the Shakespeare quote: “To thine own self be true.”, which was, in the play, spoken by an idiot who continually spouted ‘wise aphorisms’ while enacting none of them, and destroying his own life and relationships.
