 As Stout and the later generations of action-oriented theorists indicate, the need to select among several possible sources of information, and to select among several possible things that might be done with the information that has then been selected, is a characteristic of almost all deliberately executed thoughts and actions, whether those actions are bodily or intellectual. This ubiquitous need for selectivity has been emphasized in a series of works by Wayne Wu, where it is referred to as the “many many problem”(Wu, 2011a, 2014, 2019).
