They’re usually errors too? How? That’s interesting cuz you would think you’re doing the opposite of an error, like you’re making things better. But quickly fixing an error can be a mistake too? I think it helps to know what an error is to understand why. Errors are things that result in failure at a goal. If the error you fix doesn’t result in failure at a goal then fixing it is resulting in failure somewhere else. I think it has to do with bigger goals. Like, if you want to build a knowledge skyscraper.
I think local and global optima are related. Since an underlying cause is making many mistakes over time, quick fixes can be errors. You’re focusing on local optima. There’s a thinking process you’re using to build up knowledge; if that’s broken and you’re not fixing it then I think you’re wasting time and fighting an uphill battle.
When are quick fixes not errors?
