sense of psy-op around better not to start; if you start better to finish
- I have a tweet:
  - twitter.com/Malcolm_Ocean/status/1396218431913881600
- "better not to start" = you've made a mistake
  - (because who the hell even comes across this phrase who hasn't in some sense started)
    - twitter.com/dendricide/status/1396219621863301123
- "if you start better to finish" = but we can help
  - but see solutions are way harder than problems
    - / just because someone has an articulation of a problem, doesn't mean their proposed solution is any good
- also the whole thing is fractal
  - there is no single "start"
- also related, including related to what "finish" means
  - twitter.com/Malcolm_Ocean/status/1336744720798629888
- something key about trusting your own sensemaker / everything makes sense
  - but on the gripping hand, part of what the whole better not to start; if you start better to finish quote is getting at in the first place is the thing where even if things can be untangled in the limit, they may not be able to be in good time since life is trappable!

  - so there needs to be something about maybe like... meditation (bottom-up style meditation in particular?)
