What would the version of me on the doorstep of death want me to do? I rely on the perspective of that person rather than the perspective of the person standing here in the now. If I want to live a productive, fulfilling, meaningful life, I cannot simply base my decisions in the moment.
Someday Is Today
Matthew Dicks and Elysha Dicks
In any complex system, an overemphasis on the importance of some metrics will lead to weaknesses developing in other overlooked ones. I prefer Simon’s second type of satisficing; it’s surely better to find satisfactory solutions for a realistic world, than perfect solutions for an unrealistic one. It is all too easy, however, to portray satisficing as ‘irrational’. But just because it’s irrational, it doesn’t mean it isn’t right.
The ‘describe the version of you that seems impossible right now’ trick I described above is largely an attempt to bypass that part of my brain that dismisses the work of magicians as crazy and starts allowing it to make the necessary shifts required to become the kind of magician I am envisioning.
