People are clueless and work by situational imitation, narrow mimicry and semi-conscious role-playing because they simply don't know any better. Schools don't teach us how to succeed. They teach us how to be good at school.
The Work isn't a prescriptive, repeatable algorithm taking you from A to B. It's a framework bridging many ideas, books and experiences, but applied uniquely to whoever encounters it. You are your own person with your own life, so the way you implement these strategies is up to you.
Clueless at The Work emerged from an urge to digest, amalgamate, organize and disseminate the potent and powerful works of others--all filtered by learning and experience.
