The Knowledge Trap
We are all shaped—and constrained—by our knowledge base. What we believe to be important or “central” often correlates directly with what we have studied the most.

It wasn’t an overtly stated belief, but a functional one: it guided my assessments, my interventions, and the questions I asked (or failed to ask).
