Perry, thank you for your kind comments. You are right to have some head spinning, as you put it. Getting a real-time grasp of this material takes time. As we progress along with the essays, it is critical that the introductory essays be understood overall. The specifics of the data should be starting to become available within your real-time thinking and analysis. As you develop this ability, you will begin to see deeper as well. The best approach I am aware of is one of excitement, wonderment, and rigor. Keep engaging and questioning because it will pay off in developing your understanding.
I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts about the new essay coming out today at 10:45 am!
Man there is so much richness in the material presented here. My head is spinning and there are so many components to hold captive. One thing that stuck out to me is the distinction you made in the Known Unknown Matrix between awareness and understanding. I'm seeing a difference in depth between those two things, and how easy it would be to misidentify something if you don't truly understand that thing. This is reminding me of what you had mentioned in a prior post about functional meanings versus essences/true definitions. I can see how having that deeper understanding would help you to guard against heuristical thinking...much more to consider here.
