Need a term for “something many much dumber people than me seen to grok but I fail to.” Kinda like the fish sticks joke in the South Park episode about Kanye.
Not quite a blindspot. Something like a stupidspot. Even geniuses have them.
I’m trying to document my stupidspots.

One of my stupidspots is plotting in fiction. I feel like I’m missing something far worse storytellers than me get.

I have a shelf full of books with various exercises like that and have done many, including ones I made up. None really get at core problem. Only remotely useful thing no has been Keith Johnstone’s Impro.

Most conflate the problem of analyzing existing stories or detailing skeleton plots with the basic mystery of generating “living” plots.
