Which is better, vanilla or chocolate soft serve ice cream? But wait! It doesn't have to be a binary option -- you can get the twist cone! Jen and Steve discuss how humans prefer binary choices even while doing so limits one's own mental or spiritual development. Bringing together excerpts from memorable books, even some Shakespeare, they analyze what dreams may come when they let go of traditional either/or scenarios. Imagine a scenario where the question being asked has an answer outside of the observable options. Then, just when you think you have a rock-solid answer and subsequently stop searching, you have also stopped growing--ay, there's the twist.
