My autodidacting has given me a mental reflex which attempts to construct a gears-level explanation of almost any claim I hear. For example, when listening to “Listen to Your Heart” by Roxette:

Listen to your heart,

There’s nothing else you can do

I understood what she obviously meant and simultaneously found myself subvocalizing “she means all other reasonable plans are worse than listening to your heart - not that that’s literally all you can do”.

This reflex is really silly and annoying in the wrong context - I’ll fix it soon. But it’s pretty amusing that this is now how I process claims by default, and I think it usually serves me well.
