This episode demonstrates the process of becoming self-aware with examples from wind-foiling in the Columbia Gorge. Becoming consciously incompetent requires courage to accept failure in order to become consciously competent. Most of us build our habits and beliefs by ACCEPTING answers. The challenge with that is we are 100% wrong half of the time. SETTLING for an answer is far easier than seeking out a final solution.<img src="https://syn.succeedwell.net/Portals/0/[BannerPath]" width="1" height="1"></p></div><div class="col-sm-2" style="max-width:200px;"><div class="portfolio-list"><div class="portfolio-item thumb-info thumb-info-no-borders thumb-info-centered-info mt-lg"><a href="#onusprobandi"><div class="thumb-info"><div class="thumb-info-box"><img alt="" src="https://succeedwell.net/Portals/0/images/admin/badges/Scotoma.png" class="img-fluid" /><div class="thumb-info-content"><div class="thumb-description"><h6 class="thumb-info-name"> <span class="thumb-info-inner" style="font-size:0.8em;"> onus probandi </span> <span class="thumb-info-type">Scotoma</span> </h6></div><span class="thumb-info-action-icon"> <em class="fa fa-link"></em> </span></div></div></div></a></div></div></div></div> <!--SOCIAL SHARE KIT --> <div class="row"><div class="col-md-12 mt-lg" style="float:right;"><div class="heading heading-border heading-middle-border heading-middle-border-reverse"><!--SOCIAL SHARE BUTTONS --><div class="ssk-group ssk-sm ssk-grayscale"><a href="" class="ssk ssk-email ssk-round"></a><a href="" class="ssk ssk-facebook ssk-round"></a><a href="" class="ssk ssk-linkedin ssk-round"></a><a href="" class="ssk ssk-pinterest ssk-round"></a><a href="" class="ssk ssk-reddit ssk-round"></a><a href="" class="ssk ssk-tumblr ssk-round"></a><a href="" class="ssk ssk-twitter ssk-round"></a><a class="h6" style="color:#CCCCCC;font-size:10px;">SHARE</a></div></div></div></div> <!--MAIN ARTICLE BODY BEGINS--> <div><div class="heading heading-border heading-middle-border"> <h3>Welcome back to a fabulous day in <strong>SCOTOMAVILLE</strong></h3> </div> <p>We're in Volume Two. You might remember Volume One is my toolbox - the mental tools as Neil Degrasse Tyson excellently put it in a Master Class that I just recently finished; <em>'it's not what you think that matters it's how you think</em>'.</p> <p>Critical thinking skills are the ability to spot your own <strong><span style="color:#cc0000">SCATOMAS</span></strong> by talking to your self-talk. How do you develop that skill? That's what this episode is about. It's essentially the process of learning.</p> <p>I'm going to use some examples of some of the things that I'm going through in the process of learning.</p> <ul> <li>You have to be patient with yourself.</li> <li>You have to understand the bigger picture.</li> <li>Do these habitually to get through the tough parts of the journey.</li> </ul> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-7"> <!-- EDITOR BLOWS VIDEO UP <a class="mt-xs mb-xs mr-xs popup-youtube btn btn-secondary" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DCsRe0T9xQ"> <h4 style="position: absolute; top: calc(50% - 24px); left: 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;"> <span class="label label-danger">  <em class="fa fa-play"></em>  </span></h4> <img class="img-fluid" src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/5DCsRe0T9xQ/maxresdefault.jpg" /></a> --> <a class="mt-xs mb-xs mr-xs popup-youtube btn btn-secondary" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DCsRe0T9xQ"> <h4 style="position: absolute; top: calc(50% - 24px); left: 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;"> <span class="label label-danger">  <em class="fa fa-play"></em>  </span></h4> <img class="img-fluid" src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/5DCsRe0T9xQ/maxresdefault.jpg" /></a> </div> <div class="col-md-4"> <p><span class="lead">Here's a humorous self-observation (awareness). The reason why I recommend mimicking - for you to do your own video, is that you're going to start editing to tell your story and notice your nose hairs are turning silver. Do I have to shave clean up my nose? What a distraction. I have to do all those videos over again! Little things that you weren't previously aware of start piling up and there's more and there's more and there's more and more. Thank god eventually you get a handle on it. I think maybe not. Laugh with me. Awareness and understanding and discipline. I have a new discipline. Now I'm gonna shave up my nose!</span></p> </div> </div> <div style="height: 30px;"> </div> <div class="col"> <p>Let's go to the launch site near the Hood River sandbar where everybody is windsurfing, kite-foiling, kiteboarding, wing-surfing... it's a place where we spread our toys out and collaborate on the learning experience commiserating with each other's crashes but ultimately learning by mimicking. There's lots of learning going on because we're all willing to fail often, fail forward. We get up and try again. All of these things that we do on the water are very similar to your journey of self-awareness.</p> <p>It starts with being unconsciously incompetent - that is - you're not even aware of how bad you are. The very first thing you do is move on to becoming consciously incompetent - that is - you now know how strong the wind is, how bad the conditions are for your skills and all the things you need to learn by practice. So you move to the third stage which is becoming consciously competent - that is - you're practicing things that you're learning like the tools from Volume One. Ultimately you'll become unconsciously competent  - you'll be able to just jump on, get up, and go where you want to go. You'll be in control.</p> <div class="heading heading-border heading-middle-border"> <h3>FOUR <strong>STAGES</strong> OF LEARNING</h3> </div> <p><span class="lead"><strong>Learning starts as (1) unconsciously incompetent, becoming (2) consciously incompetent, moving on to (3) consciously competent, and then finally (4) unconsciously competent. That's why we practice and crash.</strong></span></p> <h5><a href="https://scotomaville.com/discuss/0202-process" target="_blank"><span class="label label-danger">Discuss The Process</span></a></h5> </div> <div style="height: 30px;"> </div> <div class="col"> <div class="heading heading-border heading-middle-border"> <h3>WIND<strong>FOILING</strong> EXAMPLE</h3> </div> <blockquote> <p>Daniel: "You went from windsurfing to wind foiling and I would bet that you experienced going from stage one to stage two which is to go from unconsciously incompetent to becoming consciously incompetent. I feel for you because that's the most awkward time.</p> <p>Garth: "Yeah and my shin is proof! Even though Daniel explained to me to stay away from the foil I managed to kick it good and hard with both of my legs probably a dozen times or better and so unconsciously to consciously.</p> </blockquote> <p>Remember? The burden of proof is on the claimant not on the recipient! Two years ago I shot an episode about dataism and global challenges like pandemics and that we better be aware and be prepared. Here's my evidence on iterations on practicing, on doing things again and again and again until they become second nature. They become unconsciously competent.</p> <blockquote> <p>Reading from Yuval Harari; "For the first time in history, more people die today from eating too much than from eating too little. More people die from old age than from infectious diseases and more people commit suicide than are killed by soldiers terrorists and criminals combined. Up till now increasing human power relied mainly upon upgrading our external tools. In the future, it may rely more on upgrading the human body and mind or on merging directly with our tools. This is why it's so vital to think about humanity's new agenda. Precisely because we have some choice regarding the use of new technologies. We had better understand what is happening and make up our minds about it before it makes up our minds for us."</p> <footer>Yuval Harari <cite title="Source Title">Homo Sapiens</cite></footer> </blockquote> <p>You've heard the saying that "the devil is in the details". The process subtleties are the thing you have to capture. Our habits are perfected over time. We're not aware of them. Awareness leaves you in a confounded state because it can point out to you what you're not doing right but unless someone tells you what to do correctly you can't fix it. You can be stalled and stuck and it can feel horrible. It can end in divorce. It can be bankruptcy. It can be if you stay there stuck, fixated in a place. Be sure that when you gain awareness of an issue that you seek out the remedy. You must seek out the new habit to create.</p> <p>I'm saying through mimicking you can get out of SCOTOMAVILLE by following someone who's been there. You can leave by asking questions of those that have already gone into self-awareness and self-understanding and ultimately actualization.</p> <blockquote> <p>Angelina: "In my first lesson or journey on how to windsurf there were several things that played in the process - from having the right equipment to the order in which the equipment is put together and you know Daniel had me holding the sail and practicing with the sail on the land so I can get used to how to hold it and the wind's resistance and where my hand positioning needed to be and my feet.</p><p>Then carrying that gear down to the water. Putting it in the water with the waves so we had to wait a little while because the wind had picked up and so then once I'm in the water now I&#</div> <div style="height: 60px;"></div> <!-- WBC RESOURCES AND BADGE --> <div class="col-md-11"><section id="onusprobandi"><div class="heading heading-border heading-middle-border"><h6 style="font-size:2.25em;color:#CCCCCC;"><strong>O·nus Pro·ban·di </strong></h6></div><p style="font-size:0.74em;margin:-30px 0px 10px 0px;color:#BBBBBB;">"Onus probandi incumbit ei qui dicit, non ei qui negat" <span style="padding-left:24px; font-size:1.2em;"> meaning: the <a href="https://succeedwell.net/ethics-guide" target="_blank" title="review our ethics guide" style="color:#BBBBBB;text-decoration:underline;">burden of proof is on the claimant</a> - not on the recipient!</span></p><div class="row"><div class="col-sm-3"><a href="https://succeedwell.net/content-badges" target="_blank" title="review our content badges"><img alt="''SCOTOMAVILLE 02.02 WBC Process'' is 100% human created and designated with the Wellness by Choice Scotoma badge." title="''SCOTOMAVILLE 02.02 WBC Process'' is 100% human created and designated with the Wellness by Choice Scotoma badge." src="https://succeedwell.net/Portals/0/images/admin/badges/Scotoma.png" class="img-fluid" style="margin:6px 30px 10px 0px;"/></a><div><a title="make a comment or request a correction" href="https://succeedwell.net/corrections?ref=SCOTOMAVILLE 02.02 WBC Process" target="_blank" ><span class="label label-danger">send corrections</span></a></div><div style="margin:10px 0px 0px 0px;"><a href="https://succeedwell.net/ethics-guide" target="_blank" title="review our ethics guide"><span class="label label-default">ethics guide</span></a></div><div style="height:20px;"> </div></div><div class="col-sm-9"><h4 class="heading-primary" style="margin:0px 0px 4px 0px;line-height:21px;"><strong>SCOTOMAVILLE 02.02 WBC Process</strong></h4><p style="font-size:0.85em; color:#BBBBBB;line-height:14px;">BY<strong> DANIEL HOST </strong><span style="padding-left:10px;"> syndicated: </span><strong> MARCH 04, 2021 </strong><span style="padding-left:10px;"> last updated: </span><strong> JUNE 03, 2023</strong></p><!--FUNCTION TO DISPLAY PAGE URL--><div style="font-size:0.9em;font-weight:600;line-height:16px;"><a id="thisurl" href="">this article url</a></div><div style="height:6px;"> </div><!--REFERENCE LINKS FROM NA --><ol style="font-size:0.9em;"><li><a href="https://scotomaville.com/discuss/0202-process" target="_blank">Discuss the Process with others</a></li><li><a href="/digital-locations" target="_blank">Scotomaville Digital Locations</a></li><li><a href="https://youtube.com/c/scotomaville" target="_blank">SCOTOMAVILLE<small><sup>™</sup></small> YouTube</a></li><li><a href="https://wellnessbychoice.com" target="_blank">Wellness by Choice<small><sup>™</sup></small></a></li><li><a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Homo_Deus/H2t_CwAAQBAJ" target="_blank">Homo Deus by Yuval Harari</a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-laudon-046aa5a4/" target="_blank">Alex Laudon</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxJ1mUsU1V0?" target="_blank">Carson Miller</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/MrGarthHardin/videos" target="_blank">Garth Harden</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kPINNhHGNw" target="_blank">Neil deGrasse Tyson</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clfHadOx9rQ" target="_blank">Sam Ross</a></li><li><a href="https://scotomaville.com/downloads/scotomaville-pitchdeck-v1.3.pdf" target="_blank">Download the Pitch-deck</a></li><li><a href="https://twitter.com/scotomaville" target="_blank">@scotomaville Twitter</a></li></ol><!--SOCIAL SHARE KIT --><div class="row"><div class="col-md-12"><div class="heading heading-border heading-middle-border heading-middle-border-reverse"><div class="ssk-group ssk-sm ssk-grayscale"><a class="h6" style="color:#CCCCCC;font-size:10px;margin-right:15px;">SHARE</a><a href="" class="ssk ssk-email ssk-round"></a><a href="" class="ssk ssk-facebook ssk-round"></a><a href="" class="ssk ssk-linkedin ssk-round"></a><a href="" class="ssk ssk-pinterest ssk-round"></a><a href="" class="ssk ssk-reddit ssk-round"></a><a href="" class="ssk ssk-tumblr ssk-round"></a><a href="" class="ssk ssk-twitter ssk-round"></a></div></div></div></div><!--END OF SOCIAL SHARE KIT--></div></div></section></div>
