One method, many waters — reflections worked out in the open
I am a polymath by temperament — I cannot read only one kind of book, and I cannot think in only one lane. What holds it together is a single instinct: I read for the order underneath. The same question sits beneath a cyber-attack, a market, a marriage, and a season of grief — what is actually holding this up, and is it in the right order?
