A while back, I posited two questions, which are listed below, and tried to expand upon them. I am inserting this text as 'quote text' because I realize the writing and thinking are likely flawed in some places. (For example, the assertion of something like life-bias. I have no articles or research to cite here.)
I am posting them on LW because I have not really resolved any of the two questions or found reason to dismiss them. If they are worthy of pursuit, I am uncertain of how to go about it within the world. So, here I seek some constructive input.
