Yeah.

Success engineering is a fun way to put it, and a very rationalist way of phrasing it as well.

Yes, and sounds better than systematized winning, I think.

I think so too.

It definitely still sounds our flavor of nerdy, but it's a new flavor, so I like it.

Between the last episode and this one, I've signed up for a proper account on theguildoftherose.org.

I've been a whatever.

subscriber slash patron or whatever of it for months and months but now that i'm in there investing with the path system and assigning myself tasks and adding experience you know getting experience points is actually a lot of fun and i've been saying like hey this would be a lot of fun check it out now i'm speaking from personal experience and and i i also really appreciate that there's the pragmatist path i guess what we call um instrumental rationality there's the empiricist path uh

which we refer to as epistemic.

Epistemic.

Thank you.

Yeah, I knew it was another E word.

And they have the meditative path, which is kind of just for like the more holistic everything else.

The post rat rationality.

You know, that's kind of what I would say.

But as this demonstrates, you know, if it makes you better at life and a happier self, it just counts as falling under this umbrella, right?

Yeah, well, I'm fine to challenge the branding.

And I, it's not like, I don't even feel bad about just assuming it into what I call rationality.

You know, it's like, like the first double blind experiments.

If someone was like, well, this is post science, this is a new thing that, you know, adds on top of it, that's better.
