A batch of the best highlights from what Siddish's read, .

Reality is messy and disorganised. Frameworks are anything but. Frameworks promise to bring order to reality in pleasing ways. They blunt the chaos and give you buckets with which to categorise your observations. Frameworks are so compelling to the human mind because the mind is a sense-making tool, and sense-making tools abhor not making sense of information. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that frameworks *feel* like they are the Right Way To Think About Things™. *[Reality Without Frameworks](https://commoncog.com/reality-without-frameworks/), by Cedric Chin*
