On “missing the vast majority of what is happening”

A fundamental Jamesian point:

… "any experience is open to an indefinite number of true and even relatively salient descriptions"…

Relying solely upon one's own experience, always a thin slice of everything else we are necessarily not attending to, is self-defeating. It is crucial to read, reflect, and listen to one another, if we really want to learn from our collective experience.
