I like studying strategy the same way I like watching apocalyptic movies. You don’t actually want to be in a situation calling for true strategic thinking anymore than you want to be caught up in an apocalypse. It means there’s hostility, danger, privation and scarcity around.

A world that requires genuine rationality for survival is probably not worth living in. Rationality is only fun when reserved for hobbies like sudoku.

When I actually need to do strategy I take an afternoon nap. If I don’t wake up with the answer, I try again the next afternoon. If I don’t get the answer in 3 tries, I decide it’s too hard and give up.

Yeah! Rationality for thee but not for me. Freeride off the efficiency gains in competitive industries while personally jumping between cozy niches where you don't need to compete that hard.
