      1/ I'd like to make up a theory of intelligence based on a 2-element ontology: boundary and interior intelligence

      4/ A thesis I've been converging on is that boundary intelligence is VASTLY more consequential once interior intelligence exceeds a minimum

      5/ Boundary intelligence is by defn meta, since you're tuning your filters and making choices about what to even let hit your attention

          6/ I think it is highly consequential because almost all risk management happens via boundary intelligence (blindspots, black swans etc)

          8/ Interior intelligence is reading a book competently, extracting insights and arguments. Boundary intelligence is picking books to read.

          11/ And obviously, boundary intelligence is more sensitive to context. The noisier and angrier info streams get, the more BI beats II
