Nice read, interesting discussion. I'd add that switching one's perspective from one viewing angle to another, regardless of the resolution, often provides invaluable information. A classic example is looking at two different shadows - one is a square, the other is a circle. The same object (a cylinder) can cast these two shadows. In the realm of ideas, such as the examples given on drug prohibition and Napoleon, this translates into generating arguments for and against the idea. Indeed, when querying LLMs on subjects, one of the more useful techniques is to ask for the pro/con arguments, essentially getting the LLM to argue with itself.
