Past the map
It’s the oldest trick in the book — folks who just learned the map start acting like they drew it. Beginners mistake familiarity for mastery, and confidence for truth.
Real experts sound different. They ask more questions. They talk less. They know where the edges are — because they’ve ridden past them before.
The danger isn’t ignorance — it’s thinking you’ve got nothing left to learn. That’s when the blind spots grow.
The best hands keep learning even after they look like they know — because the land has a way of reminding you: the moment you think you’ve seen it all, you’ve barely started.
