Twix

What came first: a chicken or a chicken egg? What is the sound of one hand clapping? What color is the wind? 

Which is better: Left Twix or Right Twix?

Language and knowledge are useful tools, but one unfortunate condition of our reverence for their efficacy is their ability to make palaces and prisons out of what amounts to empty paradox. Knowledge is fractal in many ways, building a gradient of difference out of simple dichotomy and self-reference; just as everything's identity is wholly bound up in its own opposite, these opposites are key in establishing self-reference.

Such is the case with Twix. While Left Twix and Right Twix seem eternally at odds, their complicated identities are inevitably and inextricably linked. Honestly, they are more alike than they are different. Both are a flaky, neutral cookie bar serving as a boat for a layer of dense, sweet caramel. Encasing each is a thin layer of milk chocolate. Truly, the only difference is perspective.

But there is the rub; all of language is a construct, and all knowledge is illusory. All of reality hinges on a delicate cross-modal sensory process that is, at best, creative, and at worst, deceptive, so in many cases, the only difference is perspective. Why should Twix be any different? Like the best zen koans, Twix invites us to a space beyond language and beyond knowledge, where true understanding lives.
