Interesting how many thought-stopper words (including positive self-descriptors) are also individual labels. You tend to stop thinking where you judge a person incapable of changing. Often (always?) this is true *in juxtaposition* with a way the judger is incapable of changing

Basically all ideological slurs work this way. Political change occurs in pairs, where 2 people remove a pair of labels, which allows them to get entangled as humans. Not going to list examples, but think of quartets of related words on a 2x2: yin vs Yang, positive vs negative

Which is another way of saying they become capable of seeking a truth together. Which requires indefinitely extended mutual thought. Which is “growing together” (in-truth?). Truths generally require an infinite pursuit. Only falsehoods can be disposed off in finite time/steps.
