A selectividade da atenção (parte II)

Há dias, na parte I, relacionei o gorila com a estratégia e com o que se mede num BSC, certamente influenciado por "you only see what you aim at".

Entretanto, ontem ao ler "12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos" de Jordan Peterson, encontro o original:
"What you aim at determines what you see.
...
we triage, when we see. Most of our vision is peripheral, and low resolution. We save the fovea for things of importance. We point our high-resolution capacities at the few specific things we are aiming at. And we let everything else— which is almost everything— fade, unnoticed, into the background.
...
That’s how you deal with the overwhelming complexity of the world: you ignore it, while you concentrate minutely on your private concerns. You see things that facilitate your movement forward, toward your desired goals. You detect obstacles, when they pop up in your path. You’re blind to everything else (and there’s a lot of everything else— so you’re very blind."
