The Intuition of the Future Profession

For the next 14 years, our collaboration was the focus of our lives. The work we did together during those years was the best either of us ever did. Our research was a conversation in which we invented questions and jointly examined our intuitive answers. We were sufficiently similar to understand each other easily, and sufficiently different to surprise each other. W once discovered with great delight that we had identical, silly ideas about the future professions of several toddlers. It was also clear that our intuitions were governed by the resemblance of each child to the cultural stereotype of a profession.
