Dilemma, in logical form

“If a certain condition or policy leads to a given outcome and

if the pursuit of the opposite measure or policy leads to the same outcome,

then that is the outcome that will result.

No matter what you do, you get that outcome.

So, in choosing what to do, you have only a choice of means, not of ends.”

“That, ..is what you call a dilemma.”

“And if the outcome to which you are being delivered,

like it or not, is an unwelcome, unpleasant and unbearable one,

then what you are facing is a disaster.”

So, logically.. pursue the measure that will change the condition.
