INSIGHT

Learning Is Same Condition, New Behavior

  • Learning equals producing a new behavior in the same situation repeatedly until it changes.
  • Intelligence is the speed of that behavioral change, i.e., rate of learning, not a fixed trait.
ADVICE

Accelerate Iterations, Not Just Iteration Count

  • If you learn slower per iteration, compress more iterations into a shorter time window to increase speed.
  • Do ten focused iterations in a day rather than three spaced over weeks to win on timeline speed.
ANECDOTE
