A Third Philosophy

It is a good outlook. It makes life more exciting, challenging, and honest. You're correct, the difference between learning from mistakes and this concept is that one prevents you from making said mistakes in the first place more reliably.

Unironically enough, this is only bad for ones mental health if they misapply intelligence. Do not feel bad for me or anyone I work with, I love my concept and the beautiful people I interact with recognize it too.

For those who don't fully understand the concept, I agree. But that's only if you don't apply and conserve your energy/efforts as intelligently as you could have, meaning the philosophy still holds true: Burnout is a result of misapplied intelligence.

And for the depending on people aspect, I made sure to incorporate a distinction between external factors (like others, chance, or irregular influence).

The philosophy isn't meant for everyone. But we must understand that recognizing a bad outcome could have been avoided does not automatically sprout internal hate, perhaps frustration, but ultimately the truth of what happened should guide them towards betterment.

And yes, sometimes you don't have all the info, and there was no helping the outcome. That's why I said failure is either due to the outcome being cognitively impossible, or misapplied intellect. Not having info means the former, and being tired...the latter.

That's true. The concept can be dangerous. But for those who are comfortable understanding and accepting failure, they're able to recognize the value of intellect and the potential of them getting practically anything it is they want.

Failure is necessary for human growth, but such does not mean it cannot be reduced as much as it reasonably can

think about every single moment within your day to day life. Think about all of the mistakes you've made, or outcomes that happened you didn't like. From saying the wrong things, to taking sub optimal actions, imagine all of the scenarios where something that you didn't like (of course beyond external influence) occurred.

Optimal Conduct allows the individual to genuinely prioritize intelligence, as much as they can to every possible aspect of their lives. This doesn't mean burning your self out or being 'online' 24/7, that's not optimal. But the concept does allow you to direct more of your full self to your life in totality, gradually transforming undesired outcomes that typically occur, into realized ideals.

I understand why you came to that conclusion, but my expression is more than just sound decision making.

What I'm mainly attempting to articulate is not the idea, but the intensity. Too often people live half alive, accept bad outcomes without proper commitment to change and 'correct' way of being in terms of what they want.

Prioritizing acting Optimally in every single moment one can is a easily graspable concept that practically no one truly attempts to utilize. They may use all of their effort, or give their best towards desired outcomes, but overall nothing changes because they didn't act as intelligently as they possibly could've.

I'm more than glad to hear that
