Many people find it quite difficult to develop this insight.
In fact, the main perception is that insight itself is most affected by talent. If your superiors don’t understand your insights due to their narrow vision (…), they may just tell you to stop talking nonsense. Even if they know how to foster insight, they can’t easily explain it to you.[1] So you have to take care of your insight yourself.
Business people and senior executives must also have insight. In business, there are risks and visions that you don’t know when and how to fail. Conversely, you don’t know when and how to succeed. Of course, you need insight to see them.
Then, giving orders to solve/realize them. Diplomats, who have the mission of leading the country and putting the national interest first, must also develop insight.
You will struggle to govern if you run the country without insight. Politics will become very difficult. You will suffer all kinds of insults, such as being insulted by the people. Additionally, you might be deprived of the honorary title of former president at the end of your term. You will be tired in many ways. The so-called dictators and tyrants are the result of a lack of insight and a lack of content in politics, which has caused the people to suffer.
More precisely, it is the ability to see something from a perspective other than the prevailing one. In general, the average person sees something from only one point of view. However, an insightful person sees it from multiple perspectives and chooses the best one to make a judgment.
Because of this, insightful people are immune to brainwashing. This is why dictators especially hate insightful people and want to kill them. Their propaganda doesn’t work on this guy at all.
Historically, Albert Einstein was not just good at physics, he was also very insightful. He recognized Adolf Hitler early on and quickly fled to the United States, which allowed him to escape the Holocaust.
The funny thing is that even Einstein, with all his insight, refused to accept quantum mechanics until the end of his life. He insisted that “God doesn’t play dice.” The main reason why this happens is that insight is inherently incomplete because it is a phenomenon of the human mind. It is not an ability to grasp the truth beyond the three dimensions. If insight were perfect, why would there be such a thing as the Four Noble Truths or the Phlogiston Theory?
