Michael tells us that Matt has been way ahead of the game in learning from surprises. Learn not to be surprised by detecting the actual logic in what happened that caused you to be surprised. A current application is: why is the US government destroying the US? It’s surprising until you adjust your paradigm. They exist to destroy the US.
It is hard not to use the adjective “unbelievable” for the totalitarian things happening in the USA Today, Unfortunately, the atrocities coming from our federal government are all too believable .... horrible, anti-democratic, unconstitutional, and atrocious, but, since they are actually happening, all too believable.
Thank you for the update.
