So subtracting rather than adding, is that just not human nature? When we have a problem, we look to add something and that's what we do?

So let's talk about some real life examples of what you mean by subtracting and how that makes it better.

Well, but subtracting, was it a better option or it was just an option?

to their detriment even when it's the better option so that lego example and your son that's a great example but that's a physical example of building things let's move into the world of say ideas and and how this plays out with ideas and and an example might help

But it seems that in many cases, it's so subjective. I mean, adding might work, subtracting might work. As in the case of your Lego example with your son, he subtracted, you were going to add, But one wasn't necessarily better than the other. They were just different ways of approaching the same problem.

Well, as you've been talking, it got me to thinking because using, again, the Lego example with your son, he chose to take away one little Lego block to fix the problem. And as you were pointing out, on a to-do list, maybe you need to take some things off your to-do list.

But it occurred to me, and I want to get you to comment on this, when we talk about Lego bricks and taking things off your to-do list, these are small moves. These are taking little pieces of something and subtracting them. And maybe we need a more fundamental subtraction. Maybe you don't need a to-do list. Maybe you need to subtract the whole to-do list and get a calendar or something.

For example, science used to believe that everything revolved around the Earth, and that was the premise. And then everything was added on top of that. But if you at some point weren't willing to let go of that concept, you keep trying to add on top of it, you're adding on to a foundation that is going to crumble.
