This was all excellent.

Anything that numbs pain (eg alchohol ) should be deleted.

Anything that delays/hinders reflection process.

Intriguing, look forward to the next post. It makes me wonder: 1. Mental vs physical pain and progress, similarities and differences? Conceptually would seem to be similar - after all mental is ultimately physical too. 2. Productive vs unproductive pain - presumably unproductive pain is just pain without reflection and therefore no progress. Will wait to see what the next post says about this if anything.

Loves reading this post. But what about thinking about progress in terms of trial and error. Isn't progress discontinuous meaning you keep tinkering until boom you get a big discovery or a payoff in the form of progress?
