    I wish they had nap time on the trading floor.
    I’m fading fast…

    Find a conference room, say you have some important private calls, put two chairs together, set your phone alarm and zzzzzz…….

    Not that I ever did that.

    LOL!

    It is! Higher abstract thinking is all about stereotyping. Finding patterns, extrapolating from one example to many and back to few. Stuff like that. Of course it’s unacceptable to admit that you do it for humans with stuff like ethnicity and skin color, but of course we all do. If we truly couldn’t stereotype we would be much dumber animals than we already are.
