not overfitting for the quantifiable. Everyone competes for everything but it’s highly quantifiable because it’s … It’s fun, it’s like a game.
You tweak a number and 0.1 more is better than 0.1 less. That’s an immediate gratification thing. But I just think the overlap of most valuable things you can do with a product, and for things that happen to be fully quantifiable, it’s like maybe 20%. Which leaves 80% of a value space unaddressable by the people who will only look at quantifiable things.
Sometimes the true goal hasn’t been quantified yet. Beauty, pleasure, love, truth, etc.
It’s the tyranny of the quantifiable.
