Summary

This quote suggests that when an extreme or radical position is taken on a particular issue, it does not typically lead to a moderate or balanced solution. Instead, it often results in a swing towards another extreme position that opposes the initial one. This can be interpreted as a commentary on the polarizing nature of debates and how they tend to fuel further polarization rather than fostering compromise and moderation. It highlights the tendency for ideas and ideologies to be pushed to opposite extremes in a cycle, rather than finding a middle ground.
