And so this is what I would recommend to the gentleman who asked the question. It's like, go do that and do a bad job. Just sketch it out. Do a good first draft. Because you're not going to get it perfect and you're going to learn along the way. You can substitute a better plan if you come up with one. Now, I wouldn't do that every week.

And that's the danger of someone who might be emotionally unstable, high in neuroticism, or really high in openness, or worse, both. But make the best plan you can. discuss it with other people, implement it. Then you'll learn.

Then you can take what you learn and, you know, maybe every four months, every six months, every year, you can return to your plan and see if it needs some tweaking or some foundation work. It's a very good idea to move forward with a bad plan. It's a very good idea to do that compared to not moving forward and waiting.

The problem with waiting is you get disenchanted and discouraged and you don't learn anything. If you implement a plan that isn't perfect, you'll learn exactly why it isn't perfect as you implement it and then you'll be able to make a better plan. And that is how...

cybernetic self-correction works that's how complex systems that rely on feedback true their aim across time they start out with a fuzzy goal this is even how large language models are trained the aim is fuzzy to begin with and then it tightens as it iterates that that's how that's the definition of learning and so

with regard to the plan you have now, if you're not fully confident in it, well, flesh it out more, as I said, talk to other people about it, but then also understand that That's your plan, unless you have a better one. And so stick to it, right? And if you stick to it and you learn as a consequence of your persistence, you will gather the information that will enable you to make a better plan.

For sure. New opportunities will come your way. And sometimes that'll mean a radical shift when it's time. And that's fine. But you're not going to do that without... a bad plan even. And so if you don't think your plan is perfect, well, that doesn't mean that you're making a mistake.

And then if you're really fortunate and you watch, and this is sort of how you cooperate with your plan and with the divine, so to speak, without becoming hidebound and insistent that your way is the right way, is you have a plan and then you search to see if there's open doors on the way to the goal, right? And if it's a good plan, people will spontaneously line up to cooperate with you.
