I refuse to inherit your assumptions. ...When everyone else is busy rearranging the furniture Me? well... I'm in the basement asking whether we need a house at all & then immediately wondering what happens to Ikea if nobody builds houses anymore, and then what happens to the suburbs, and then what kind of person I become when I've thought myself so far down this rabbit hole that I'm standing in amazon, (the rain forest) arguing with a theoretical lumber baron about the ontological status of a chair. That's just a Tuesday for me. First principles throws a pebble. Second-order thinking watches the ripple hit the other side of the pond. Systems thinking realizes the pond is inside a bigger pond & something upstream changed the pH three months ago and that's why the fish are weird now. I am probably annoying at dinner parties BUT I am rarely, surprised.― thoughts in my head : subject matter first princples and systems thinking
