Tarnport on Nostr: 30 years ago in an armchair conversation in Jacksonville a pretty smart cookie ...
30 years ago in an armchair conversation in Jacksonville a pretty smart cookie corrected my claim that most things work on the Bell Curve with tapering extremes. She said that's simply not true. Look at common dyads, male/female, gay/straight, right/left... and see how most people cling to the extremes to either side and vanishingly few venture out into the attenuated middle. I have thought about that so often, and moreso now. Life is a series of Bell Curves, but they're often upside-down.
