<p>yes, this is a good analysis of my (childhood and beyond)
nature... though I'm not sure "reveal less" is my signature
here? More likely "hiding in plain sight"... </p>
<p>I like your use of the term "cognitive dominance". It was very
unequivocal albeit non-coerced. Made it easy for me to submit to
institutional (LANL) life even though I sandwiched those 27 years
on either side with a decade or more of entrepreneurial activity.
While it *was* chafing I came to it with good callouses. </p>
