  • Trying to do things too early creates eddy currents that will be 10x more energy than slow and steady moving through the iterative adjacent possible.
    • When you do things at the right time, it's just a matter of calm and steady progress.
    • When you do things too early, you constantly do the First 90 % and then don't do the Second 90% before you do the next chunk of First 90% work.
    • Good progress optically but on an increasingly over a levered base: a supercritical state underneath.
    • The First 90% creates upside.
      • Very visible.
    • The Second 90% caps downside.
      • Not visible except in the absence of disaster.
    • Even supercritical states don't have disasters... until they do.
    • The Second 90% reduces the rate of disaster which is hidden, which means it will be under-invested in.
