Known errors are valuable. They’re valuable data. So when you make an error I think you’ll kind of know you did. You got a data point there you can use. You can use it to help you figure out errors in your thinking. Is there something else that helps figure out those underlying errors?
It makes sense why stuff doesn’t get fixed. Like you could be making many errors on the daily that you thought look easy to you. You kind of fixed these errors in things you do, but you still encounter them while doing something else. There’s more going on than just fixing a mistake. You can get knowledge about your thinking problem so you can fix it. Mistakes aren’t just ends of the road and not something you don’t have to take seriously as much. They’re entire things you can investigate. You do that til you get to the truth.
I think we should too. It’s like a whole field of science or practice. You can learn a lot from errors. Dealing with the error and moving on as fast as possible is like dealing with an under researched science. You think you got a good idea about it so you move on and it makes it hard to make progress in life.
Im thinking when you give attention to errors you’ll get more practice to how much you give. You’re gonna learn along the way if a postmortem is easy to do or requires more investigation. I think you could be making a lot of errors right now so there’s some valuable data there to get started on. It’d be nice to start somewhere easy. I think it helps if you’re able to judge success or not.
