in math, once you know the trick to prove a theorem, you move onwards; there is beauty in coming up with the algorithm, there is minimal in executing it. when everything is trivial and can be “solved” in our heads, every action and its subsequent can be mapped out, it is a trivial pursuit. life is lived on the knife’s edge riding stochasticity, the second your outcome space becomes deterministic, what is the point of being alive?

There is a narrow line between being fully in the zone and completely checked out and the price for crossing the spread is your sanity.

from my current read "Maxims for Thinking Analytically" sounds very similar to region beta paradox which I've covered here: https://news.1rj.ru/str/humblespace/67
Maxim 19:
Make pleasure-enhancing decisions long in advance, to increase the utility of anticipation
Anticipation of a future reward/event can sometimes be more gratifying than the experience. By planning ahead, you maximize anticipation utility which results in more happiness.
