Biohacking and other illusions
Failure? Don’t get it twisted; when you need results and you have zero time available to you, the minimum effective dose is an apt solution.
HOWEVER!! (in caps), exploring, playing, looking just because, this is great to dedicate yourself to develop parts of yourself you didn’t even know about.
Learning about the way something works is messy. And fun.
Dedicating yourself to levelling up your skills can help create a more integrated, adaptive and resilient individual. The reverse? A person has one solution to each problem, and as soon as a variant of the problem occurs, they are back at square one!
There is beauty in getting lost. Failure is not bad in learning contexts.
“Rather than trying to prevent all errors, we should assume as is almost always the case, that our people’s intentions are good and they want to solve problems. Give them responsibility, let the mistakes happen and let people fix them. If there is fear, there is a reason – our job is to find the reason and to remedy it. Management’s job is not to prevent risk but to build the ability to recover.”
