I don't think we ever want to hold on to, like that's static. Like we need to, we want to, like you think about predator and prey dynamics in the world or in competition or in anything. Like you want to be competing with, Now, there's a fusion of the predator and prey. You want to have the awareness that prey has, but one wants to be playing to win, not to lose.

The moment we're trying to hold on to something we already have, we're falling into the static quality, right? Or you think about, for example, brilliant investors, right? They'll have success. Then they'll try to figure out how to replicate their success. So they'll build mental models, frameworks to replicate their success. And those become grooves, like neural pathways.

So then they follow those grooves, but then the grooves become a rut and the water stops. And they get stuck in an old, like, so they succeeded. They built mental models. They recreated the patterns.

And then they're trying to recreate it. They're getting too stuck in things and they create mental models that are stale. And then other people replicate those stale mental models.
