Confused? Of course you are. We all are, but most of us are unwilling to admit it.

Confusion reigns supreme. No matter what we know about how our minds work, it doesn’t change the fact that we are overwhelmed by input. Yes, it seems like we have a handle on it, and we reassure each other. “No, I am not confused. I really do know what is going on.” But we are all whistling in the dark, and that’s okay. That’s just the way it is. We need to deceive ourselves, otherwise we would be frozen into inaction. So, is mass confusion less confusing than individual confusion? Well no, but it does often reduce the risk and limit the danger. Think regression to the mean. Outliers are unusual. The mean is normative. So, be aware. When something seems too good to be true, it is.

Rejoice in your confusion and celebrate your metaphorical blindness. You choose your outcome. Choose wisely. You are warriors. You will choose wisely. You will pierce the veil of confusion. You will comprehend that which you must in order to achieve great results. So it is written.
