Actions
have consequences. Some are intended. Intention and incentives matter, but the
world is so complicated (and getting more so) that we don’t, and can’t, have a
strong grasp on cause and effect. The stories we layer on the world are glitchy
and built on our own personal faulty understanding. Then thrown into the mix is
a double helping of randomness that tends to swamp our efforts. The only thing
you can truly plan for is that things won’t go according to plan. Build in a
feedback loop. A little lesson from each step. Realise that each step taken
changes the world. The lesson you learnt applies to a world that no longer
exist. And is only relevant to one of the ways that world could have played
out. Complicated. Ambiguous. Random. In a way that is empowering. No one
understands. Don’t expect yourself to. The main goal is to create an
environment that gives you time. Then the ability to adapt, adjust, and accommodate.
Then create. Do something meaningful to you. Build. Learn. Rebuild. Every day.
