so, question for the audience then: whatā€™s a valuable obvious thing other people arenā€™t saying? bonus points if accompanied by a take on why it is simultaneously valuable, obvious, and not being said

Many of us want to be novel. Often though it is even more valuable to say obvious things that others arenā€™t saying. Thereā€™s great value in the ā€œunsaid obviousā€ You then donā€™t have to persuade. And idea space is vast. Most obvious ideas wonā€™t have been considered by most people.

Many of the recurring problems in your life are easily solved if you spend about half an hour of effort and/or a small amount of money on them. It's largely not being said because people are procrastinating on doing so, so feel attacked when you say it.

The easiest way to make someone absolutely livid at you is to tell them things that they know are true but don't want to admit to. I do not intend to provide object level examples other than this tweet itself, because I'm not quite that foolish.

do you have a process for surfacing them? I'm sure I have a bunch, but I feel like the same part of me that would feel attacked if someone pointed it out is also hiding them from my conscious awareness.
