@jonny Just repeating this, because I want to remember the phrase: "several shepherd's tone reward ladders at once".
(This also perfectly describes the Universal Paperclips clicker game, which was made to be as simple as possible while tapping into these addictive patterns. And even when you know this, it still "works"!)

@pence I think I've always considered it as (and aspired to) erudition.

@oatmeal Loved it. Pairs well with your this-is-how-projects-actually-come-together frame from "Erasers are wonderful" https://theoatmeal.com/comics/creativity_erasers I bet those who sell or buy into AI tools don't know the power of erasers, since they want to go from plan to finish without the very detours (and optional suffering) that make the journey worthwhile and that give the end result a soul. 💌
