these questions are mostly very interesting, but here&#x27;s the problem with lists: ill-definition. What does important mean? On its own it&#x27;s a floating signifier. So you have to ask: important for what? Then break down your important list into at least some caregories. Then I&#x27;ll be more likely to believe that these are the most important <i>for some reason or other</i>, not just because you arbitrarily think so.
