Anti-fragility:
> Something is fragile if it easily breaks, robust if it does not break under stress, and anti-fragile if it gets stronger or improves under stress. Lots of stoic thoughts about how to improve under stress. Important to be able to try many low cost experiments and iterate. Think about what makes you anti-fragile. and where and how you can fail. How can you optimize worse case scenarios?
> Example of Anti-fragility (Jocko): Stresses (eg: not sleeping enough) actually makes him a better performer. More alert, more responsive, emotionally engaged.
Law of diminishing returns.
> Example of 80/20. Get the low hanging fruit. Acquire breath of knowledge at the 80/20 level. Then choose what long sloughs to fight.
