Compared to the sophists he argued against, Plato had little fault. So, understand that his student Aristotle only intended to tweak when forming alternate viewpoints to the conclusions of his former teacher. To do so, he brought up the differences between "being" and "becoming" in an attempt to clear up convoluted ways in Plato's thinking. Likewise, modern society has become convoluted in how it relates to the individual not because of any truth it has established over him or her, but because of how it markets itself in relationship to them for the benefit of just a few in society.
Simply put, in matters concerning the fleeing elites in a tyranny, convolution is the preferred best way to proceed as the questions about what are the concreteness of being and the dynamic movement of becoming are avoided by them altogether. However, in matters concerning the people and their Civil Purpose, every individual in a society should be an artist in their concrete being while they should think scientifically in their more dynamic, ever changing becoming.
Is this convoluted?
