notes I was trying to make notes about favourite ideas and concepts from specific books: According to Nassim Taleb, we have tendency to being focused on clear shapes, "well tended" forms and well organized interpretations - he calls it “platonicity”. We used to choose structures in our surrounding which are easy to understand and abstractly name - requiring little or no energy input. We privilege them over these which are in opposite to our taste and needs of aesthetics. It makes us totally blind for things revealing messier, misshapen and disordered, but from objective point of view - far more important in specific implications. It's neither purely positive nor negative way of percept the world - it just depends on circumstances. Well organized structures of our perception are stories to tell, anecdotes which are we able to describe and share. The more complicated and chaotic information, the larger the number of simplification passes to done. Information has to be reduced. If dimension of matters is decreased - it's even easier to ensure sense for this approach, clear idea means convincing explanations and potentially attractive narrative to introduce.
