Imma write about the following paragraph:

> **Paragraph**

> >
> > You can think of many goals, evaluate which plans/solutions will succeed and fail at which goals, and decide which goals you’ll actually pursue in your life. That’s a big improvement over having one vague goal. Deciding on clear goals, and using binary goals (goals that label all outcomes as either success or failure), lets you figure out which issues/problems/errors are actually relevant and important.

Second sentence:

> [@Judging and Fixing Your Own Errors](https://discuss.criticalfallibilism.com/t/judging-and-fixing-your-own-errors/492/1):
>
> That’s a big improvement over having one vague goal.

I think “That’s” is thinking of many goals, evaluating them, and choosing which ones you want in life. Doing that seems to be the big improvement.

I think if you’re clear about the goals you have and know if you’re going to pass or fail them and then choose the right goals then that does seem like a big improvement. You can actually interact with your goals in words and ideas. You don’t have to keep it so vague. If you’re having a problem accomplishing your goals or getting stuck in life then why not study this subject a bit? Try that out. You might find a problem with your ongoing project that you can fix.

I don’t like how vague goals are these days cuz if you manage to accomplish them you seem like a genius. If you don’t accomplish them then you’re not trying hard enough or aren’t disciplined enough. How about thinking about the topic rationally? Maybe not doing that is why people fail so often at life goals
