The 1% thing is not the most generous way to express this specific thing.
It doesn't matter whether you're in the 1% or not. You don't need to wrack your brain over that question. It's an irrelevant issue.
If you read the short description of polarity and you're not feeling it, then you probably just don't need it. It's not that you're stupid or something, it's probably that you're actually just naturally advanced past requiring consious control over that particular issue.
People like me and Steve who are very logic-oriented tend to require these kinds of logical-models to be effective. Some people, who are more intutive, thrive without them.
Different strokes for different folks.
Most people who do polarize - especially throughout history - just do it unconsiously and probably never even realise that they've been "polarizing". Most people who polarize to the positive (and for every 1 negative, there are 10 positives) are probably never even aware that there is a "dark side path" they could take.
Not everyone needs to see the path in order to walk it, and some people don't need to walk it at all.
It's my belief that each of us incarnated for a specific, unique reason. That reason is ours to discover and ours to choose.
If you find yourself drawn to the consious principle of polarity then I recommend you read

If you find yourself thinking, "that's stupid" about this whole polarization idea, then you're correct, it's probably stupid
and unneeded for your particular purposes.
Spirituality is not One Size Fits All.
In the end, you don't need Steve to guide you, since your higher self is there constantly watching over. Don't put Steve and all his human flaws on a pedestal. He's just a messenger.
