  • Thinking multi-ply takes time.
    • If you do it constantly you'll always be on the back foot, late to the game.
    • You'll be beat by
      • 1) the swarm of one ply thinkers, one of which lucks into the right move, or
      • 2) the seasoned high judgment operator who has a honed one ply intuition to make the right move quickly.
    • Better is to be ready for when the right opportunity presents itself and then pounce faster than anyone else can realize the opportunity.
    • Most of the time you will look like a surfer dude lounging around, but in that moment you will strike like a viper.
    • Bruce Lee: "Water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend."
