Here are at least three thangs which exist in relation to and dynamically interact with one another:

There's (1) the wind that blows, (2) the thang (the sail of the 'boat') that is blown by the wind, (3) the 'intelligent' presence ('in' the boat) which hoists (or not) the 'sail', keeps the 'boat' from tipping by inventing and using (4) a 'keel', and steers to wherever it wants to go by manipulating (5) the boat's 'rudder'.

Have fun reconsidering.

I'd say there's a spectrum between opposites but that doesn't make the spectrum a polarity. You argument is compelling but not convincing.
