  “Non-binary” only means there are not-two-states.

  The state of having two states and the state of not-having-two-states is itself a two-state solution.

  Unfortunately, once you rule out non-binary as a third state, you collapse back into the original binary state. Thus, non-binary exists as a quantum superposition between states, as we fluctuate between whether or not being non-binary is politically correct.

    But can a two-state solution really work?

      Going to the UN to propose my Quantum Superposition Solution to Violence in the Middle East.

        I don’t think anyone will agree to dropping a massive Schrodinger box over the whole region

      Touché! Maybe we need a UN state shoved in beside the west bank to help keep an eye on things?

      Yes and no.

    But nobody is in the state of having two states, though. People range from being in one state to “it’s complicated”.

      You wouldn’t, at least not while being observed.

        So turn off the lights and anything can happen?

  I want to upvote the OP for presenting an interesting discussion but downvote them for being wrong. This presents a case for a non-binary voting option.

  A singular like button would still only express one portion of my sentiment. A third option could be many things, none are sufficient: a none or 0 or neutral option is effectively not voting, a sideways arrow or maybe state, or mixed state would express indecision or indeterminism rather than mixed feelings.

  Therefore, I propose that a second positive-negative axis is required. The addition of these “sideways” arrows allow expressing 2 kinds of sentiment: towards the post content, and towards the poster themselves. I will not specify whether left or right is positive nor will i clarify which axis (x or y) corresponds to which kind of sentiment. I’m sure this undefined behavior will cause no problems.

  Here is your composite vote in the new system: ↖️

    The choice between a traditional up-down vote and a new non-up-down vote must have been a tough one.

  I’m considering identifying as unary now. God only made one gender and “male and female” are mental illnesses caused by the original sin 😔

    God cloned Adam to make Eve, thus we all are the same gender. Wake up sheeple!

    One world, one gender, one love 💗
