>> "Unconditional surrender will be achieved when the president determines that ... the mission's goals have been fully realized.

Sounds like a totally unambiguous and quantifiable metric. What are the mission's goals again/currently?

When you struggle with Object Permanence, everything in a box, cupboard or drawer becomes a Schrödinger's thing(s).

Do they exist or don't they exist, or do they only exist if you remember them & where you put them?
Do they only exist when you find / rediscover them?

I am well into my fifth decade of time on this rock, and I still play peekaboo with my peers.

I'm proud of myself. Due to an almost non-existent sense of #ObjectPermanence, I rarely buy fresh fruit or veg anymore because I will usually forget about its existence until it is into its 2nd or 3rd cycle of microscopic civilisation development.

But this week I managed to buy a bag of cherries AND remember they were in the fridge for three consecutive days, meaning I ate every single delicious one! 🙂
