Ordinary Banana

I don’t have much shame about ignorance these days - but I have a high tolerance of ambiguity, and the hard part is the noticing.

Not sure if useful but I have a high tolerance for ambiguity (can read about half of ribbonfarm) and have a distracting level of background noticing, the way I seem to manage both is by categorising things as either precise explanation or fuzzy metaphors

that’s a good strategy

It helps but it isn't perfect. I get pretty annoyed when people use fake precision and there's this weird substitution effect on eductional YouTube videos where I give a pass to fuzzy explanations but notice their 10 subtle editing choices made because of algorithm nudges

I have a sense of this from too much youtube educational content but do you have any verbalizations of this?

- formulaic camera shots that create a sense of ritual (e.g. knife slicing open the bag) and reduce need to come up with novel shots on a weekly production schedule - after food is taken out of the bag he always makes sure to overhype how amazing it smells since no smell-o-vision

- catchphrase "I know it doesn't look that good right now but watch this" before he sears the meat which he will say even when it does look good - using a blowtorch even after his experiments showed an electric heatgun works just as well + more practical
