I get this completely. Even if the source isn’t someone I normally agree with, the point hits hard: without real contact with reality, everything else becomes guesswork. It’s frustrating how easy it is to drift into abstraction or assumptions when so many external factors—noise, bias, misinformation, even just daily chaos—pull you away from what’s actually true.
Staying grounded takes constant effort, and the moment you stop, entropy starts erasing whatever clarity you built. But that’s also why maintaining that connection is so valuable. It’s the only way to make real progress instead of just pushing buttons and hoping something happens.
