"Cool.
Seems like things are getting trickier.
The Foundation has really become the land of traders—definitely plutocracy. Mallow built it.
Riose, by his arrogance and pride, intrudes on the Foundation.
It feels like the "magicians" are actually just the traders from the Foundation.
But what if it's from the Second Foundation? I'm not pretty sure.
Btw, I love serif fonts lol" — 12 hours, 39 min ago

"Cognitive ease and strain.
People tend to ease themselves when they perceive things that require less mental effort, using more Sys 1 instead of Sys 2. This is also related to positive feelings at an unconscious level.
If the workload increases (e.g. an illegible font), people would generally use more Sys 2. This strain makes them more aware. And that is somehow related to negative feelings." — 9 hours, 53 min ago
