This was cool! For me the transition between Rely and Right is associated with the transition from childhood (where my parents are making most of my decisions for me and I’m told to “follow”) to adulthood (where I’m learning about how to construct my own model of the world and use it to make decisions).

Thanks for writing! I know you have a lot more already published!

Absolutely fantastic use of Alice.....

As a "new", 65 year old student, I really appreciate your writing style, and layman terms as well. I'll definitely be saving, sharing and rereading this as well as your other articles.

I love how you’ve used the Alice in Wonderland metaphor for a way to frame how philosophy helps us to work within the structures we find ourselves. A powerful narrative indeed. Thank you
