You're wrong all the time.

But what I try to do when I'm wrong is

Take an inventory.

Okay, what patterns or habits led me to that mistake?

What can I change?

What can I learn from this?

How can I not make this?

I'm going to make another mistake really soon.

You know, I'm someone who plays, I always played sports.

So it's that thing you learn when you're young, like a tennis, you know, if you hit a ball, if you hit a serve into the net, you might hit a, you might, like if I hit a second serve into a net and double fault,

If I'm going to double fault the next time, I want it to be because I hit the ball long.

I don't want to hit it into the net again.

And it's that kind of thing where you just want to sort of correct for the mistake you can correct for.

Yeah, how do you balance that with the sort of

confidence needed to press ahead?

Don't you find when you're writing, I wonder, how do you balance the need to move forward with the need to be right?

Well, yeah, you have an awareness.

And I do think in the world that you are living and engaged with

There's a people default to tribalism and kind of a Manichaean view, even on things like the Turkish getup.

And when you see people go, this is the most overrated thing in the world, and then someone else will go, there's no exercise more important than the Turkish getup.
