Interplay of the two ideas of research and experience as presented by Iyengar suggests that we think critically/philosophically about the results of our practice, and then test these conclusions in the real world of our future practice. Coming from the opposite direction, Albert Einstein, the famous scientist, mentions that

“I am not fully known to myself because part of what I am is the enigmatic traces of others.”

Indeed, what is a lab experiment but the attempt to create a reality precisely like this one but where one key thing is changed such that it changes everything else around it? Such is the process of science: you attempt to fix all known variables so that you can understand the cause and effect of changing just one.

MIND-BLOWING EXPERIMENT

Problems are best solved with a personal project and self-experimentation. You become an entrepreneur when you take your projects public. And remember, you are the ultimate project. The exchange of goods is the foundation of human connection regardless of generation, gender, race, or type of good being exchanged.

Experimentation is the principle that ties all the others together. Not only does it make you try new things and think hard about how to solve specific learning challenges, it also encourages you to be ruthless in discarding methods that don’t work.

The great advantage of experiments is that they stop you being stuck; they’re one way to prototype a future we think we want. You could say that experiments are how we learn everything. We try to stand up, fall over, recalibrate and next time find we can teeter for a second or two. Keep at it and mastery emerges. Misbehave and feedback provides
