what it feels like to notice someone's blindspot is that you notice that their control systems seem to be controlling for something they're systematically unaware of impossible to be certain what someone is controlling for exactly, but you can notice what resists perturbation
concrete example: if someone always has an excuse for not doing something but they act like each excuse is just a one-off thing then you'll naturally sorta detect they have some resistance to doing the thing that they can't seem to acknowledge (to you, if not also to themselves)
importantly—don't assume you know anything about the NATURE of the resistance! it could be on many different levels of abstraction: - they might have a resistance to some element they falsely assume must be part of the thing - they might just not want to be told what to do - &+
