I was reading Obvious advice and noticed that at times when I’m overrun by emotions, or in a hurry to make the decision, or for some other reasons I’m not able to articulate verbally I fail to see the obvious. During such times, I might even worry that whatever I’m seeing is not one of the obvious — I might be missing something so obvious that the whole thing would’ve worked out differently had I thought of that one simple obvious thing.
Introspecting, I feel that perhaps I am not exactly sure what this “obvious” even means. I am able to say “that’s obvious” sometimes on the spot and sometimes in hindsight. But when I sit down and think about it, I come up things like “what’s obvious is what feels obvious!” and I am not satisfied really.
Can someone link me to resources to explore this topic further? A discussion here is appreciated as well.
