I really enjoy the chicken-and-egg-esque meta implications of this comment, that you are of the Type 1 persuasion and therefore find value in this reductive model of human thought. I instinctually grasp for nuance away from these two modes, which ironically seems to put me squarely in Type 2 (even though I often find value in reductive models). Trying to dig deeper into this just feels like zooming in on a fractal.
- xattt 5y agoThere is still some mysticism that exists embedded in a type 1 world. Nursing literature sometimes refers to nurses’ intuition, which is an indescribable feeling that something is wrong with a patient but you can’t quite describe what it is. Otherwise, nursing is very much a type 1 world of models that describe how nurses interact with the world around them.
