Hmmmmmm

It’s handy to have a default way to signal, to yourself and others, that you think something about X but aren’t sure what. “Hmmm” is becoming that for me. This yields a surprising boon to the economics of noticing: it lowers the bar for what gets registered. More things snag, without a matching rise in the energy it takes to capture them.
