“You are an explorer. When you get there, you’ll notice all sorts of things, things that you’ve never ever seen or imagined before. You’ll learn and document them, find patterns, discover associations, and live as though you were everything you discover.”
“But that all sounds terribly difficult - how should I be able to find the patterns, learn them, and live them all at once?”
“Well, actually it’s not at all. In fact, usually people become so good at it that they forget that the patterns were once completely unusual, arbitrary, “meaningless”. They forget and live as though everything were always the way it is, as though there were nothing to question at all, nothing bewildering at all.”
“How odd. Why?”
