Generalities do apply to individuals. I need water. I am an individual. But I need water. Most people need water. That is a generality. But it is specific to an individual (me) at the same time. It can be specific to individuals. It is a generality. It is specific at the same time. Sounds like a paradox. And some paradoxes can be true. I love paradoxes. I love what sounds like contradictions which aren't actually contradictions if fully understood. But at surface level, people discredit contradictions. It is true, as a generality, that contradictions might be flawed. That is generally true. But some contradictions can be individualistic in the sense that they can be true even if they look like they are not true.
