A reminder to Retardmaxx

I reread this quote by @jakobgreenfeld every few weeks. It reminds be that I don’t need to overly “plan”, I just need to try things.

”My biggest recent breakthrough was the realization that to move forward, I don’t have to read more books, watch more YouTube videos, or spend more time on Twitter. The only thing that leads to real progress is doing more experiments.”

But these days I’m getting more and more interested in retardmaxxing thanks to @pmarca and @davidsenra.

I’ve never thought of myself as an overthinker. I’ve never seen myself as held back from taking action. But when I get these examples of what taking action before you’re “sure” really looks like for comparison, I look like a do-nothing intellectual.

It’s a bit of a shock. But I suspect a good one. Dare to be dumb. Act and learn.
