"Purge yourself of the illusion of attention every now and then. **Confront all possible and seemingly impossible scenarios. What unexpected events might happen? What lurks beside and behind the burning issues? What is no one addressing? Pay attention to silences as much as you respond to noises. Check the periphery, not just the centre**. Think the unthinkable. Something unusual can be huge; we still may not see it. Being big and distinctive is not enough to be seen. The unusual and huge thing must be expected." --- **Tags** — [[quotes]], [[illusion-of-attention]], [[monkey-business-test]], [[feature-positive-effect]], [[confirmation-bias]], [[availability-bias]], [[dashboards]], [[primacy-and-recency-effect]] **Source** — [[202308101525 — B — The Art of Thinking Clearly]]
