So if you wonder how soon America will suffer the fate of South Korea, consider this order of events:

1. Pat Cipollone and Pat Philbin stop Trump from executing the Waldron Plot—a coup plot involving martial law.
2. Kash Patel puts the Pats on his hitlist.
3. Trump nominates Patel for FBI Director.

THIS is what you have to keep in mind when you're writing documentation and training. You mustn't just avoid assuming they know what you know. You MUST assume by default that they know 10% of your topic, at best. Otherwise you'll lose over half of your readers and your doc is functionally useless.

Lots of folks saying “I’m in tech and I don’t get it either” and what I’m saying is…it’s even more mysterious than that for a lot of us. I don’t understand most of the words you use. You gotta understand how even the smallest piece of your knowledge is alien.
