Not a fan of this message, it doesn’t promote bias towards action. If all of us tried to figure out how we will finish before the start, none of us would be able to accomplish anything in life. Don’t trust random “quotes” (note the quotes around the word) from the internet. 🫡

I agree with you, let's do things and see how they turn out!

How about; begin with the end in mind?

Don’t, analyses paralysis

I disagree, it's a fine message.

If you're going to get married, figure out how you'll grow old together first. Getting married, then divorced, isn't a good "accomplishment"; it's a waste of x number of years.

If you're going to work 80000 for money & use it every day for 80 years, spend like 800, 1% of those hours learning how money works. Being broke after 40 ywars of a career isn't a good "accomplishment"; it's a waste of 40 years.

Both of these are way too common. This isn't advice for do'ers & builders; it's advice for those spinning their wheels in daily, long-term ignorance.

Indeed the message is good its just not about nostr usage

Like you gonna know how your marriage will work out, whom are you kidding. We can’t predict the next day, forget about a year or decade.

Same goes for the second example, completely unrelated to the topic. Learning while doing is good, it has nothing to do with finishing.

Also, every time there is a note, someone will bring up the money, it’s not all about it, and not everyone have same interest.

Respectfully… 🫡

Agreed, no one knows how a series of introductory dates will go.

At the start of a marriage though, we speak our vows, not our hopes & wishes, for a reason. The word there is important, permanent. If you deviate for any reason ever before one of you dies, you fail forever.

All I'll all to the topic.

If you're gonna vibe code something; have at it.

If you're gonna release it & take peoples money for it, the "goals" your LLM devised need to backed by tangible, permanent guarantees (or folks should just avoid your shit)

Same goes here, words are meaningless, actions are what matters. People change, circumstances change, time change, and we are in control of our actions. So, don’t target the end, prepare for the ride

Nostr is the finish. It is the completed room. I now sit in my lounger viewing the accomplishment. I knew this way back in 2012 when I realized that every social media was centralized and I was allowed to use it.

It depends on the context obviously but in general I agree with you. I think it is good to have an idea of how to finish something but things also often change along the way. Once you actually get started you can try things and learn along the way, and you often need to adapt based on what you have learned to achieve the outcome.

Yes, if he'd spent evenjust a little time considering the goal and his actions, he might have modified these so as not to paint himself into a corner. Some goals and associated actions need more/less ongoing evaluation. I suppose wisdom and experience help decide when its best to get on with it, and when pause for evaluation is necessary?

Let’s not optimize for retarded people, let the evolution play out and allow them to”paint themselves” into learning or out

Yeah, also don’t paint your floor the same color as your walls

Yeah, that was just retarded 🤣

Sounds like you already got it figured out! Unfortunately now its time to re-paint your whole house… 🤷‍♂️

Figuring it out as you go is youthful and necessary in early endeavors, before you’ve mastered the work that leads to fulfilling your purpose. But seeing the end the whole way through while you work is a sign of a visionary or a master.

A famous tale goes: One day at an exhibition, a novice sculptor marveled at the work of the featured sculptor. In astonishment, he asked the master, “How did you possibly make this?” The master replied that he started with a block of marble, like anyone else, and simply removed the excess.
