Metrics make is so that we aim to exploit paths we already know rather than to take the time to slowly explore and let information sink in
Switching from the mindset of instantaneous value production to that of long term satisfaction and gain is very difficult when your environment positively reinforces the former and negatively reinforces the latter. I've realized that I need an environment of people with whom to discuss and pick apart ideas to learn rather than to act. Because discussing an idea for action fails to consider the second and third order consequences and it's long term value.
As a teenager, I was a professional violin player and spent 40+ hours a week with the orchestra. In order to learn new pieces quickly, I learned that I could memorize pieces much quicker if I put them on repeat as background noise. Now reading this I am going to use this again

Scraping training data for your mind
