And the reason is because through experimentation, nature came up with a solution that worked twice, right?

And I think this is a parable for us.

It's to say that, you know, the more that you sort of just think solution A is good enough is the sort of end of innovation.

And I think this is where a lot of us, you know, I think about my own life prior to Fluke as well, prior to writing this book, I experimented a heck of a lot less.

And I think that it was because I sort of figured that's fine.

And I think now I'm more open to the idea of alternative possibilities, alternative ways of solving problems, even in trying new restaurants, trying exploring, not using Google Maps to get to a destination.

And I think that's the way that we're supposed to live.

I mean, I think it's something that actually gives us serendipity.

It gives us an enjoyment of life, and it actually produces better solutions to problems.

Because the Google Maps way is not always the right way for every single person.

And the modern world solves problems for the average person, not for you.

That's what Google Maps is.

And I think that's something where we have to remember that some of the technological solutions we're being given are for the median person.

They're not tailored to each individual.

Hey, thanks so much for having me on the show.

I appreciate it.

I understand that the world is constantly in flux, that there are small things that can make a big difference and so on.

Maybe I'll experiment 5 to 15% more in my life.

There's a lot of studies that show this makes happier people, and it also makes for more resilient solutions.

Yeah, so I think when a lot of people think about sort of thought experiments like science fiction with time travel, for example, they totally intuitively get this.
