We weigh the facts we encounter in accordance with our values. We elevate some pathways forward, things in the world, and people to a higher place than others, consigning everything deemed lesser to the netherworld of impediment, obstacle, enemy, or foe, or the invisible domain of irrelevance. Thus we order, simplify, and reduce the world, prior to even encountering it.
