The options are limitless, but each path must begin with the same first step: replacing assumptions.
When you put on really effective armor, you do keep things out but you also keep a lot in.
Outside of the law and science and even within science and within law, reality is kinda negotiable. So I mean, a good example of that is the high jump, the fosbury flop.

The best results in life are often held back by false constructs and untested assumptions.
The commonsense rules of the ‘real world’ are a fragile collection of socially reinforced illusions.
Everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about.
