As I’ve gotten older, I find this to be untrue.

Estimating the unknown is itself a skill.

It’s like choosing to crash random parties everyday — at first, exceptionally novel but facing the unknown becomes itself mundane. Humans adapt. They build mental modals to approach the unknown and these mental modals are predictable.

I just don’t think most people get much practice.
