“In any complex system, **an overemphasis on the importance of some metrics will lead to weaknesses developing in other overlooked ones**. I prefer Simon’s second type of [[satisficing]]; it’s **surely better to find satisfactory solutions for a realistic world, than perfect solutions for an unrealistic one**. It is all too easy, however, to portray satisficing as ‘irrational’. But just because it’s irrational, it doesn’t mean it isn’t right.” --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[the-map-is-not-the-territory]] , [[satisficing]] , [[making-decisions]] , [[psycho-logic]] , [[counter-intuitive-thinking]] , **Source** -- [[202407221554 - B - Alchemy]]
