Aaaaaah, that's one of the most gorgeous things. Contradictions are a fucking fascinating topic. There are different approaches, most agents don't require so much nuance, so contradictions get flattened. The most interesting agents live with their contradictions in the same way you, and every person, is FULL of contradictions, and the contradictions are part of who we are. But ok, to your question, for most agents, contradictions, if cannot be solved, are baked into the agent as unresolved tension to be applied at the edges (i.e. keep both contradictions in mind, and decide which takes priority depending on the situation; if some contradiction is clearly leaning in one direction the agent will end up learning a lesson that resolves it) But yeah, bro, what a good question, contradictions are insanely interesting.
