Putting the obvious into words

natural” put into words. - The obvious is a hypothesis

• It is only a hypothesis that “It’s obvious, so it must be understood without saying so.
  • When you have a group of people who only think alike, you will have misunderstandings that you don’t have to say.
  • People think in many different ways, so you have to say what you think to get your ideas across.
• By daring to write about things that you think are so obvious that they don’t need to be written about, you will notice the omission of understanding. - Dare to write the obvious
  • The output of writing validates one’s understanding.
  • Writing enables critical thinking about what is written.
  • When you write it down and think about it critically, you realize after the fact that it wasn’t as obvious as you thought it was.
  • Naturally is subjective
  • Suppose someone says, in response to a sentence, “It’s obvious.
    • It was just “a concept that was already familiar to that person.
    • It means there’s a high degree of consistency between the person’s experience and that statement, so objectively speaking, it’s positive.
  • On the other hand, if I’m supposed to think X about something, why am I going against it!” and get angry.
    • Observed facts suggest “not the norm.”
    • It’s only subjectively considered “natural”.

conversely

• Bias to be “bizarre” by “trying to write something that is not the norm.” - The Trap of Differentiation
