The most underrated video ever.. Immediatelly bought the book.. How did this new paradigm change your objective to write a good song?

Great summary of the book !.. I wish that Ken Stanely sit down & talk about his experiments with Nassim Taleb .. I find parallels between this book and concepts from Nassim Taleb work like for example optionality, teleological fallacy and stochastic tinkering .. they even have similar ideas about education & learning.

Fantastic intro to the topic! I believe this was shared on the SuperMemo Discord before and it immediately struck me as profound insight. As is often the case with such insights, it is simple to understand but hard to apply. Having been molded by such a goal-oriented culture, it's hard to disentangle yourself from that mentality. Even I frame this as a goal: "aim to be a little goal-oriented, but not too much". At this point, it's simply foreign to me to frame any aspect of life without goals. You conclude at the end about being open at high-level in our lives, to not try to globally optimize to some goals, but as we come across interesting/promising things, to slow down and explore them, that way collecting stepping stones. It reminds me of a mental model I have that parallels this at the micro-level of a single day. I found having a rigid plan rather useless. Instead, I have a structure that allows me to adjust my path as new insights/interesting things come in. That way the overall path of the day is shaped by what I'm learning and what it's interesting as I go. But I do have some structure so my energy doesn't completely dissipate into complete distractions. More like guardrails so I have some level of awareness and intentionality behind my actions. The highest learntropy things, for me, are when I learn something that puts into question assumptions so deeply held I'm not even aware of them. So this is pure gold! Thank you!

An example of good metrics would be distance and pace in preps for a marathon. Assuming no injuries and other major variables, such metrics can be very informative. You can dream of a specific pace, but life will verify it. It can add to your effort, or set you back (depending on experience). Perhaps even a greater value of such a metric is that if you attempt to reprodue success a year later, you have a ballpark understanding of your feasible trajectories. In that the brain is pretty unreliable. You may sense you are doing great only to discover that you slid miserably in comparison to 365 days ago.

In other words, closer is not always better

Love the idea, but never was able to assign shortcuts to advance "slides".
@gerwinschalk8786
I want to make a presentation in Remnote and installed the Plugin. To move the slides it is written: "...use the shortcuts - cmd/ctrl+shift+> to go forward and cmd/ctrl+shift+< to go backward." Is this right?? It worked not for me...
@Holindds
How were you able to control the image of the bee in the presentation on Remnote?

Everyone has know for THOUSANDS of years that in order to solve the maze you have to EXPLORE the maze. And in all your examples the problem is not the EXISTENCE of objectives but the WRONG objectives. Stanley provides absolutely nothing new.
