Thank you for advocacy on behalf of negative capability! Sometimes I feel like that's all I'm really trying to aim for in what I write, maybe almost to a fault.
SBF-like figures are troubling and make me impatient with the times we're stuck with. Where will it end for him? Also now I may have to go rewatch the Michael Fassbender version of Jane Eyre.
Matt's answer to the puzzle is easily visualized by making a chart of all 36 possible roll outcomes. From there we can count 11 in which one of the dice shows a three. Our instinct of counting 12 must come from counting the 3-3 combination twice?
I like your response to knee-jerk criticisms of Michael Lewis's new book, but my understanding is that he has also defended Bankman-Fried, though I haven't read a lot about that. He's also been criticized lately for THE BLINDSIDE and has made some not great remarks about the football player who was featured in the book. I've only read a little bit about both those controversies. Of course, none of that means the new book is compromised.
