Ruminations

Janne woke me up saying she thought now was the time. But she wasn't sure. She had a few false starts, keeping her frem sleeping.
She did sound so as if this was different, though, so I started calling for help. She also called the midwives at the hospital who apparently didn't quite believe she was going to give birth yet....

Not yet done with my layman journey into thought processing and intuition, my model is as follows: Thinking intuitively, you first acquire experience, probably mostly through trial-and-success/error, then let yourself pattern-match the situation at hand...

Tonight, as I was dual-wielding my 1-year old daughter Lys as she was supposed to fall asleep, I got thinking about the transformative experience it is to have small children. Yes, I was holding both of her hands, at her request. I suppose it gives that...

An interesting set of paradoxes in probability.
Some of them are somewhat mind-boggling.
It's too bad school doesn't generally teaches us enough to get the intuition right.
