Love the reframe of knowledge gaps as closed portals rather than just missing info. The art economy example nails it, people dismiss entire domains as frivolous without realizing others are building wealth from knowing the mechanics underneath. I've been running into similar walls where conversations hit ceilings becuase I just never engaged with certain fields. The "burdened by what I dont know" is the right kind of pressure, like when ignorance stops being bliss and starts costing opportunities.
Exactly. Even in my work as a Designer, just by learning how “negotiation” works or the concept of “objection handling, I’m produced better monetary outcomes and the difference is usually just one sentence.
You truly do not know what you are missing out on if you don’t know certain things
Another way to frame it is that you only fear things you don't know, and what's the best way to conquer it other than reading every available material on the subject matter?
For me, I'm dealing with brainrot and uninstalling my favorite apps until further notice. Swapping that for reading up more on subject matters I've withdrawn from to de-influence myself of ideals I adopted from being chronically online. And perhaps the Queen's premier, in hopes that I find my love for verbose lingua and writing from my heart again. Can't wait to read your book.

Very true. I wish you luck on your journey to de-influencing yourself.
I’m convinced once the quality of the input (things you read) is solid, writing comes more naturally.
