“COMMENTS BY REVIEWER A:
I have studied this manuscript very carefully with lemon juice and X-rays and have not detected a single flaw in either design or writing style. I suggest it be
published without revision. Clearly it is the most concise manuscript I have ever seen …”

Found a big jar of slime on the kitchen counter.

The veil of ignorance is being pulled away by big data and more sophisticated risk modeling. This is likely to erode societal and fiscal policy rationales that play a key role in today’s shared risk pooling.

A is for Arraton who gives credit where due. G is for Gorey who’s one of my favorites too.
Excellent footnote
“Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?”
This rabbit hole did not disappoint:
It ended with poetry.
Satire -> Alexandre Pope -> William Shield -> The Auld Lange Syne Controversy > Rosina -> (listened a bit to Rosina on YT) -> (returned to Alexandre Pope) -> John Hervey-> Suetonius -> Castration -> The Glorious Revolution > Deposition of James II -> The Dunciad -> “Still Dunce the second rules like Dunce the first" -> An Essay on Criticism -> Heroic couplet-> Nabokov ->
“And then black night. That blackness was sublime.
I felt distributed through space and time: One foot upon a mountaintop. One hand
Under the pebbles of a panting strand,
One ear in Italy, one eye in Spain,
In caves, my blood, and in the stars, my brain …” (Pale Fire, Nabokov)

KOREA: "one people, one nation, two governments" is over.
North Korea is reportedly dropping theoretical unification clauses from its constitution after 70+ years.
This isn’t all good news:
“… analysts said this did not necessarily indicate an end to Pyongyang’s aggressive rhetoric against its southern neighbour …Christopher Green, a senior consultant at the International Crisis Group added ‘Normal states define their adversaries in defence white papers and defence reviews and the like; they do not define their adversaries in the constitution.’ “

Indeed. Today this mind wandered well for 12km alongside¹ this scene and into the forested hills beyond.
