RE: The HIGHLY IMPROBABLE. It hits us, it deeply changes our lives, we don't understand it properly. And we actually IGNORE it.

It was certainly long read for me to go without not being a native English speaker. I believe that you could have shortened it a bit with making essential points more visible. In the core, I think it could be summarized to human intuition and dangers of it and making sure that one must know his weaknesses and danger that overconfidence brings. The keyword is knowledge as always but also limitations of it.
On the other side, there could be opposite arguments made to follow your intuition. Since everyone learns best from his mistakes and that is the way we all follow the most. Only the smartest of us learn from mistakes of others.
Please take this as my limited contribution to your work and keep giving us more food for the mind.
Thank you.

    :)) I agree, of course.

    • it's long. can spawn the TL;DR. I'll try to be more succinct in the future. I personally appreciate the people that can follow the KISS principle. I'll try to improve it, of course.
    • IMHO, intuition is good as a last resort, or, if you use it as a primary decision you have to shift your expectation window: to be prepared to embrace chaos. Why I'm saying this ? Because we hardly know a little bit of our mind and to rely on the unconscious part of it (intuition) is kind of dangerous if not enough understood.
    • yes, we are all "victims" of Dunning Kruger effect and yes, the learning process is continuously. Always.

    Sometimes I don't want more new lessons from life. I just want to be a plant/animal. I'm joking (49%). :))

    Thank you for your patience and feedback. It wasn't easy, I know. :)

    Oh, how wonderful it would be to not have mind or thought process. I would be like post stamp traveling all over the world but staying in one place all the time. xD

      Meditation does that. As you know, it doesn't annihilate the mind (impossible anyway), but puts you in the position of an external observer of your own thoughts tornado. And that's a welcomed quasi-shutdown of our mind. :)

        Comparison with post stamp is in fact riddle which says: What is the thing that goes around the world but stays in the same place all the time? Answer: post stamp. Idk why I included it, but thank you for sharing more knowledge.
        I used to meditate a lot while I was a kid, but these days I can't see shit when I close my eyes but I certainly try something from time to time. Steemit so far has been a good push for me in the ways of spirituality and mind expansion because of people like you.
        Speaking of it just look what jumped up on my feed:
