Yes I was - I was focusing on a different side.

Logic. "X brings fog" and "X brings clarity" are not contradictory, in a normal paraconsistent logic.

But note: if A uses X as a mental experiment for intellectual development, detachment is there: that is the opposite of "identification".



Most people aren't using paraconsistent logic, especially on Internet forums (unfortunately).

Furthermore, the sentence '"Identifications" are mental conditionings that make you lose intellectual freedom" is not really in line with paraconsisent logic. The loss of intellectual freedom comes about from being stuck on a recognized facet of your identity and unable to think of your identity as having a conflicting facet. If people could reason by freely jumping between towers of inferences regardless of the apparent conflict between them, then labeling yourself with identities wouldn't have the downside.
