we talked about in the past how become the best in the world at what you do. Keep redefining

what you do until this is true. And Akira made a song out of it. Akira the dawn, God bless them.

And I think that's absolutely true. You want to be the best in the world at what you do,

but keep redefining what you do until that's true. The only way that redefining is going to work

is through the process of iteration, through doing.

So you need that carrot, you need that flag, you need that reward at the end to pull you forward

into doing, and you need to iterate. And iterate does not mean repetition. I iterate is not

mechanical. It's not 10,000 hours. It's 10,000 iterations. It's not time spent, it's learning loops. And what iteration means is you do something and then you stop and you pause and you reflect, you see how well that worked or did not work, then you change it, then you try something else. Then you pause, reflect, see how well it did, and then you change it and you try something else. And that's the process of iteration. And that's the process of learning.

And all learning systems work this way. So evolution is iteration where there's mutation,

there's replication, and then there's selection. You cut out the stuff that didn't work.

This is true in technology and invention, where you will innovate, you'll create a new technology and then you try to scale it and either survive in the marketplace or will get cut out. This is true as David Deutsch talks about in

the search for good explanations. You make a conjecture, that conjecture is subject to criticism,

and then the stuff that doesn't work is weeded out. And this is the true scientific method.

It is all about finding what is natural for yourself and doing it

by living life in the arena high agency process of iteration until you figure it out. And then

you're the best of the world at it. And it is just being yourself.
