John Parkhill @johnparkhill.bsky.social · 27/03/2025One of the most powerful ideas unused by the average person is to optimize baskets of decisions rather than individual decisions. The reason for this is: even if you have no MEAN signal on the individual decisions, you can optimize the basket. 100
John Parkhill @johnparkhill.bsky.social · 27/03/2025You can also optimize a basket of decisions such that it's good whether or not you have signal - the epistemic uncertainty that always dominates our world. If you look for people/entities optimizing baskets of decisions rather than greedily suddenly you see it in all success. 000
