That thing about every reaction creating an opposite equal reaction, I’m thinking thought might be subject to it too. Don’t we make decisions and frequently fail to achieve them? Aren’t there forces saying I’ll go this way which make other forces spring up determined to go the other way? If it’s true then the trick might be hiding one’s thoughts from oneself, which reminds me of the internet. All the time people broadcast their views including views about enemies, who then study those details for whatever counter purposes they have. If I study playing in a key that’s difficult it gets easier. That’s the same dynamic right?
