I strongly favor the mentally active, strategic, approach to cognition that Art counsels; frequently we receive information passively and do not bother to examine the premises. Not only do we allow ourselves to be unduly influenced by others and the background ” conceptual noise” of the culture but we miss opportunities that are unlooked for – to say nothing of the possibilities that extend, in decision tree fashion, from the road not taken.

Or the connections between the roads. Life is Non-linear.
