What if one of the people you never listen to comes up with a good idea?
The people you listen to is always right and the ones you don't listen to are always wrong?
- dasil003 4y agoAlways be listening. But when seeking people out and prioritizing who to spend time with, consider their track record.

The general gist of most multi-armed bandit strategies would agree to listen more and more to people with good ideas, and spend less and less time (approaching but never reaching zero time) listening to people whose ideas you do not find rewarding.
