13-6a3 Value scales converge with knowledge—put differently, value scales differentiate without knowledge

Knowledge informs preferences.

Or in Buffett’s (along with Li Lu and Michael Burry) parlance, knowledge precedes temperament.develop

The individual differentiates due to the indifference—a lack of preference, which in turn is due to a lack of knowledge. Put differently, the individual converges across the multiverse through knowledge.
