Anti-Alias
Whether you flatten the world into binaries, or allow for nuance, complexity, and blurry edges.
Lucy Kalanithi and Deciding to Have Katie
Anti-Alias is about resisting binary thinking — allowing for nuance and blurry edges instead of flattening everything into either/or. Lucy Kalanithi was stuck in a binary: either this is a good idea or a bad one; either it will make things worse or it won't. Paul's answer dissolved that binary. Pain and love aren't opposites. Having a child during a terminal illness isn't clearly right or wrong — it's a blurry, human, complicated thing. Lucy had to turn Anti-Alias on to hold that ambiguity and still move forward.
