Found Chapter 6 discussing statistical analysis, the binomial method & the medical world to be quite intriguing.
Assessing difficult decisions, especially in regards to ones health, can be a tough one to navigate.
I found the notes on patriarchy in the medical field to be similar to the content in The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg, making it clear that if a doctor dislikes Q’s you should pick a different doc.

Fun facts!
1) putting things in alphabetical order was an innovation of the 19th/20th centuries, as it depends on general literacy and having enough documents (bc of typing and printing) that other systems fail (how could they find anything in the Library of Alexandria??)
2) the concept of correct spelling arose in the 18th/19th centuries as a consequence of printing, dictionaries, and need due to rapid communication

Two thoughts so far:
1) what is it with psychologists and the idea of the caveman brain!? Animal brain? Fine. But the idea that our brains are specifically adapted to the relatively narrow time in our evolutionary history when we were hunter-gatherers drives me as insane as the idea that we are uniquely maladapted to the world we have created for ourselves. Humans are generally adaptable is all I'm saying.
