Thank you for the post!

While you covered this with your last bullet point, I think one of the biggest hurdles for any type of progress is that most of the things you don't know, you don't know that you don't know. Just like the old Rumsfeld quote, the unknown unknowns are the hardest to address. I see this every time I try something knew, it opens a cascade of new topics and issues that I had never even considered.

True. While realizing the limits of one's knowledge one must not resort to negative outcomes such as impostor syndrome or Dunning-Kruger effect but embrace the possibility of expanding the knowledge. There's a lot to learn for all of us here.
