Very interesting chapter as you mention Sunzi too. When I first time read him at middle school I think I may use and practice in business later and feel like read same book will get different feeling because as you said we gain more experience so the beginning knowledge then to wisdom . That’s why eveyone have to try and figure out their own life in unique way .

This one was refreshing to read, and it got me thinking. At the end you said “if only experience wasn’t tethered to age”—

My gut reaction was to instantly say no that they aren’t tethered or attached… after I had this visual come to mind of line graph sloping up and curving back down like a hill…. The beginning point of the line (early childhood) and the end point both touch the graph (older age), each periods of life where humans may face experiential limits. The only times in life that are truly tethered in some form.

Everything in the middle, under the hill— is all mental, free will, beliefs, perspectives— those are the tethers. Maybe that’s why we lean into truth deeply because what else is there?
