    There’s also the “science” that is your policy choices (personal or public policy) based on the science(n) and your values, risk tolerance, and lifestyle. Since the latter factors can change a lot over time, these policies can also fluctuate wildly and give the impression that “science” fluctuates wildly.



  • I can definitely relate.

    For instance, BG3 has this launcher window where you have to click a “play” button to start the game. The first few times I launched it, I could not for the life of me figure out how to get past that screen without help. It turns out the button was highlighted in a way to grab your attention such that I just couldn’t see it.

    We also have an app here for reading store flyers. Sometimes a certain store gets “featured” and they get this huge banner-like look instead of the usual thumbnail. They might as well not exist anymore at that point.









  • It might not make sense to be wearing red and say that you’re a little bit rainbow, but it does make sense to wear a desaturated red and say that you’re a little bit red. To that point, I like to compare it to visual acuity. Everyone’s vision lies somewhere on the gradation of 20/20 or better up to complete blindness where absolutely no visual signal reaches your brain. Saying that everyone has a little bit of trouble with social situations is akin to saying that everyone is a little bit blind.


  • Sometimes I take half a day considering just how to address and sign an email.

    I can definitely relate. It also takes a lot longer to craft an email to contain all the relevant information. If you miss something, that’s potentially several hours or days of back and forth to get everything sorted out and plus the need to context switch each time. If you do a phone call, the context switching happens once and it gives you the freedom to go “I need help but I don’t know exactly how to describe the problem or what information you need” and the other party can help fill in the blanks for you.
