I forgot to tell you how much I appreciated the artery diagram vs. the image of reality. The idea of simplified narratives vs. messy reality is such a great topic. No doubt the simplifications are helpful at times, but your reminder to not lose sight of the underlying complicated truth is a good one. Especially when it comes to outside advice. It’s so hard not to over-conflate the map (simplification) with the territory (reality) sometimes.

I never heard of Alex Dundson but I’m gonna go check him out.
