"There's no secret ingredient"
I've found this to be very applicable to life. I often instinctively look for some magical silver bullet solution for hard problems. This makes it easy to procrastinate instead of just taking the best action I can come up with right now. To not act is also a choice and we often forget to compare the utility of non-action to action.
- visarga 5y agoSometimes it's better not to act. It's all situation dependent.
- worldsayshi 5y agoSure but some of us (self included) seem to have a bias towards waiting for perfect information to appear.
- abartl 5y agoAlso you don't need the best action you can come up with. A good enough action will do (even inaction is an action). Also, if it turns out it wasn't a good action, well, s** happens, that's the upredicatable nature of life, so it will be fine, you will recover from it.
