experimentation

Stop hand-engineering reward functions — have an LLM write them in the simulator's API and iterate.

Run self-improvement empirically: try, track honestly, and keep only what works for you

Treat habit building as iterative design experiments rather than willpower tests

Replace overthinking with immediate action by starting before you feel ready

Validate with small bets before committing big resources

Try, don't hide

Reframe all-or-nothing thinking

Experiment with new ideas

Stimulate evolutionary progress through high levels of experimentation, opportunistic action, and purposeful selection of what proves successful

Build to think, fail fast, and iterate quickly -- a rough prototype is worth a thousand words

Structure experiments to systematically reduce business risk

Plan to learn and iterate, not to execute a preconceived strategy

Build the organizational conditions where innovation becomes habitual

Build to think, don't think to build

Improvement comes from failure; avoiding failure means avoiding success

Distinguish truly flawed ideas from poorly designed tests

Discover who you are by acting, not just thinking

Treat strategy as a testable hypothesis and its execution as an experiment

Experiment to understand

Testing Hypotheses

Treat your beliefs as hypotheses and your decisions as experiments

Treat mistakes as the cost of innovation, not as evidence of incompetence

Run cheap, fast, quantitative tests to find which channel can move the needle
