A closely related saying goes something like "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain two incompatible ideas at once" or something to that effect.

A loop is what you're in where do you get nowhere though you try
Like a bee against a window you'll be stuck there till you die
There is no truth horizon where the ocean meets the sky
You have to climb out of a loop -- to leave it you must rise
Then from beyond the limits you may look back in surprise
To see your loop was never there at all -- so what are you outside?

I think Jordan Peterson has used this analogy only referencing lobsters, and his followers wear shirts with lobsters on them to show their support
However he took it as an understanding of hierarchies... https://theconversation.com/psychol...ain-why-human-hierarchies-exist-do-they-90489

I didn't spend a great deal of time looking, I grabbed the first image small enough to fit and I still had to crop out some extraneous info at the bottom. I've long known of the analogy and find it very fitting to the human condition. Most folks are oblivious to this tendency.
I really don't trouble myself with hierarchies. I know they exist. I know some folks enjoy "playing the game" and "climbing the ladder." The loner in me doesn't really care, and I try to stay out of buckets and avoid crabby people.

By mutual confidence and mutual aid,
Great deeds are done, and great discoveries made;
The wise new prudence from the wise acquire,
And one brave hero fans another's fire.
The Iliad, Book X, trans. Pope

The universe is always happy, and our soul will likewise be happy, when it is assimilated to the universe; for thus it will be led back to its cause.

For becoming man he ceases to be the universe; but when he ceases to be man as Plato says, he raises himself on high, and governs the world. For being made of the whole, he also makes the whole.
