almost there, well, nope.

from n.talib, to d.kahneman, to j.soloveitchik, how cool are kahneman's heuristics ?!...and then to: to d.hoffman with the basis of perception-based (of reality), being driven to extinction vs fitness-based, thriving.  Are 'accurate perceptions' of any value?

then there's p.lazarsfeld's probabilistic nature of interrelations between latent variables and their indicators...   (like cherry-picking 'reason/cause' once an even has come and gone, doe! soup7!)  is this not, simply: hindsight is 20:20, -which gives "hindsight is 'not' 20:20".

“Everything of importance has been said before by somebody who did not discover it.”
― Alfred North Whitehead

why do we prioritize 'bad news'?

and here's the thing...  my kids have questions about xyz, and i'm thinking, for me, i know, for you- i do not know... figure it out for yourself.  and as a teacher, i have kids that do 'not' even ask about xyz even after autumn weaver's bell ringer- so then what? (a standardized test?)
