First.
👋 Hello reader, this blog post has aged 11 years since I originally wrote it in 2012. That's about 77 “internet years” you know, so it's probably quite stale by now and may not reflect my current thinking. I am happy to keep it here for archival purposes, but please reach out to me if something feels off or if you're relying on it for any serious purpose.
Thanks,
Patrick
I can’t think of a better first post than to link you to something I wrote on Cognition.
