Acquiring new capabilities is sometimes described as a series of stages we all go through in life: unconscious incompetence, conscious incompetence, conscious competence, unconscious competence.
Every human enrolled in 'earth school' is travelling on one of three competing paths.
Most of us are unable to name the path we are on, let alone the other two.
It follows most of us would be unable to explain why we are on a particular path, which path is best now and will be the last one standing in the end.
In short, we don't know, that we don't know, what road we are on, or where it leads – hence confusion, division, conflict, dysregulation, dysfunction, and waste. We are flying blind and winging it with one wing. It would be hilarious if it was not so monstrously painful, wasteful, and disastrous.
