REZD-029 - If you truly want to start understanding the world, you should assume that everything that happens is utterly ordinary and that only extraordinary things are worth assigning a causal explanation for. This is because the occurrence of any event can generally be explained by mundane causes, and extraordinary events are more likely to lead to profound revelations or significant consequences.
The assumption that ordinary events are just normal and require no explanation helps you focus on the big picture and not get lost in irrelevant details. However, this assumption should not be taken too literally because even ordinary things deserve attention and understanding if they are crucial to your goals and interests.
## Here are some examples of how to imagine different outcomes and their consequences
