Aristotle, Rhetoric
"Analogies prove nothing, that is true, but they can make one feel more at home."
Sigmund Freud

Bars
… & processesOblivious: “We don’t even know that we’re performing a process.” Variable: “We do whatever we feel like at the moment.” Routine: “We follow our routines (except when we panic).” Steering: “We choose among our routines by the results they produce.” Anticipating: “We establish routines based on our past experience with them.” Congruent: “Everyone is involved in improving everything all the time.”
