🚀 Why Are Disruptive Things So Hard to Understand?

One big reason is something called cognitive inertia 🧠. Our brains love shortcuts—they try to automate thinking. New concepts require more energy, so the brain naturally avoids them. Because of that, we interpret new things through old experiences, old systems, and old mental models 📦.

But when the old framework can’t explain the new idea, the brain quickly labels it as “wrong,” “dangerous,” or “not credible ⚠️.”
The issue isn’t the new concept—it’s the angle we’re using to understand it.

Then we face cognitive dissonance 💥. New ideas challenge our worldview. If a new model is true, it means the old one we relied on might be incomplete. That discomfort triggers self-protection: denial, dismissal, or quick criticism—often without research.
On the surface, it looks like logical critique, but underneath, it’s the mind protecting its comfort zone 🛡️.

A classic example: cars vs. horse-drawn carriages 🚗🐴. People once said, “Without a horse, how can it move?” But the world changed.

Today, Bitcoin ₿ gets the same reactions. Many judge it with old assumptions.
But every disruptive shift begins with doubt. To understand it, we need humility 🙏, imagination 💡, and critical thinking 🔍—so we don’t become the people who once said, “How can a car move without a horse?”
