ACTION POINTS:
- Seek detail you would not normally notice about the world
- Notice in the details actually change how you think.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Reality has a surprising amount of detail
- At every step and every level there’s an abundance of detail with material consequences.
- Different people end up noticing different details
- We end up in intellectually stuck. We are stuck in our current way of seeing and thinking about things
- You might hope that these surprising details are irrelevant to your mission, but not so. Some of them will end up being key
- Before you’ve noticed important details they are, of course, basically invisible. It’s hard to put your attention on them because you don’t even know what you’re looking for. But after you see them they quickly become so integrated into your intuitive models of the world that they become essentially transparent
