The practical takeaway for me is being able to see patterns and systems I never would have seen otherwise.
I avoid a lot more pointless building; sometimes entire projects. The things I do end up creating come from a much deeper place of true need.

This reads like common sense but it wasn't; there were thousands of lower level factors. Studying the mechanism of analogy and "sameness" seems to help the mind with abstraction. Perhaps because it is the differences in data which reveal what is most useful to know when creating.
In other words, I think a perspective that can see more of the similarities can "diff" and solve problems more quickly.
