tl;dr: Reality contains vastly more relevant detail than is apparent from a distance—simple tasks like building stairs or boiling water fracture into countless nuanced sub-problems once you actually engage with them. This matters because critical details are invisible until noticed, then become transparent once internalized, which makes it dangerously easy to get intellectually stuck without realizing evidence is right in front of you. The remedy is deliberately seeking out details you'd normally overlook, especially those that others (particularly people you disagree with) find important.
