I don’t know what to tell you all. The problems we face in life are complex.
We cannot control all chaos on earth, but we can surely control how we respond to it.
It’s important to never take life too seriously.
After all, none of us are getting out alive.
God wills it.

“Optimization fetishization” is my new favorite phrase.
Yüs, incremental improvements matter.
No, a 0.7% equipment tweak isn’t the reason you’ll win or lose.
It’s a general cognitive trap: once the big problems are mostly solved, enthusiasts naturally migrate toward debating increasingly smaller variables because those are what’s left to argue about.
The danger is that discussion becomes dominated by things that are measurable rather than things that are most consequential.
Fix: Spend more time doing the thing, then talking/arguing about it
Point of hypocrisy: I need to do this too.
