The Curse of Knowledge: When better informed people find it extremely difficult to think about a problem from the perspective of lesser informed people.

Bayesian Conservatism: Tendency to revise one’s beliefs insufficiently when presented with new evidence.



All is fair in football
Teams of politics

The mindless zombie
Who craves mindfulness

Disbelieve the curse or misunderstand after belief
Alienated enlightenments on an abandoned playground

Well educated well read suspicious book
Big eye of the magnifying glass

Suspicious laboratory evidence  
Emotional ax

Einstein Frankenstein
The blue screen of death

Warped windows ***** windows  
Confederate flag covering the entire window

Hourglass hang the end of days
Eternity

The program of empathy, operating
System of exhaling the curse

The art of politely
Serving the monster
Microsoft turns 40 years old today. Have personal computing devices given us more or less access to quality information, made us smarter or happier? Yes and no: I get to meet poets on Hello poetry but have to read vitriolic anonymous commentary after online news articles. I can self-publish but also lose phone hours on hold to service my machines. Is it a toss?
