As this is an internet forum, links to other media would be fine, and verbal descriptions of non-verbal expressions will patently have to do in certain cases. For example, to a claim that I do not exist, I would propose that I smack you upside the head as a counterargument, and so on.
Do a dance, drop your pants, plant some plants, toot your flute.
By "verbal" I'm specifically referring to what is known as "natural language". Math or some symbolic logic is fine- if you claim that A > ~A, let's see your supporting argument in the same symbolic language, and of course "natural language" explanation for those less versed in those languages is fine, as long as what is expressed is expressed in that symbolic language.

Here's some symbols to go with it:In the philosophy of mathematics, intuitionism, or neointuitionism (opposed to preintuitionism), is an approach to mathematics as the constructive mental activity of humans. That is, mathematics does not consist of analytic activities wherein deep properties of existence are revealed and applied. Instead, logic and mathematics are the application of internally consistent methods to realize more complex mental constructs.

The symbol is symmetric but good and 'evil' aren't.Lao Tsu wrote:
When people see some things as beautiful,
other things become ugly.
When people see some things as good,
other things become bad.
Being and non-being create each other.
Difficult and easy support each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low depend on each other.
Before and after follow each other.
Therefore the Master
acts without doing anything
and teaches without saying anything.
Things arise and she lets them come;
things disappear and she lets them go.
She has but doesn't possess,
acts but doesn't expect.
When her work is done, she forgets it.
That is why it lasts forever.
Secondly, in Taoism this symbol is used to represent the universe as a whole. They make the classic mistake of projecting mankind on to the cosmos.
There is no anthropomorophism in Taoism.
I would need another circle for the universe. A blank one, not even white, with no boundry.

Simple questions. Infinitely complex answers.
