@inthehands Musicians were very highly represented amongst WWII cryptographers. I always thought about that was more about patterns and variations than about space.

@adamshostack
I would venture (in my cognitive science ignorance) that our brains might use structures that evolved to do spatial reasoning in order to think about patterns and variation.

@inthehands My next book shall be titled "Led astray by Dan Kahneman." It shall be very, very short. ;)

@adamshostack
I'd read it (given that I just had to search “kahneman”)!

@inthehands His Thinking Fast and Slow is a freaking masterpiece on many levels, including accessibility, clear science writing...

@adamshostack
Oh, I know the title. Gotta pick it up one of these days.
