Don't become Buridan's @ss

Consider the tale of Buridan's ass: a donkey that is simultaneously ravenous and parched. Positioned between a source of water on one side and a stack of hay on the other, the donkey finds itself in a predicament until it regrettably succumbs to hunger & thirst (the imaginings of a grumpy 14th century French philosopher).

Buridan's ass highlights the tension between rational decision-making and the complexities of choice.

This is where experience becomes relevant in understanding how and what to instinctively factor into the process of decision-making.

I'm ensuring the newsletter remains concise and brief since there’s been a lull. I've observed that my increasing subscriber count engages well with condensed self-help content.

In summary, while maintaining rationality is crucial, it is through experience (potentially coupled with didactic education) that we learn to transcend pure logic.

Adieu for now-

Zeek out.
