You write: “The problem is the gatekeepers. They’re sneaky little miscreants. In many cases the biggest problem is not even slaying the little buggers it’s correctly identifying them.”

This is a useful concept, but the example you use doesn’t clarify it. “The biggest one for me is patience. I have a VERY hard time reading through the directions before i try something.” How is this a gatekeeper?

Could you expand on the idea of gatekeepers? What tyhey are, how they emerge or develop, how (and when) they should be eradicated?
