Turning the crank feels good.

· Bits and Bobs 4/28/25
  • Turning the crank feels good.
    • You can get addicted to it.
    • You can also feel superior to people who aren't turning it as fast.
    • But if you're going to a place that isn't good, it doesn't matter how fast you get there.
    • Sometimes you get addicted to the feeling of turning the crank and optimize for that, even if turning the crank is destroying value.
    • The tactical certainty outshines the strategy uncertainty.
    • You don't stare into the abyss because you're too busy to.
    • It feels strong, but it's actually weak.
