Explore vs Exploit
When should you be exploring new options and when should you start settling for the best option you already know? Consider these concepts:
- Regret Minimisation Framework: When you look back on your life when you’re 80, what will you regret least?
- Exploring: In decision making, we consider the single highest pay-off on our single decision, but in the long term, it’s way more efficient to first explore your options, before exploiting the highest pay-off decision.
- Ageing: Deepest insight about later life is that you can exploit knowledge acquired over decades — life should get better over time.

Instead of thinking about only the next decision you will make, think about all of the decisions you are going to make about the same options in the future.

Caching / Forgetting
Is a crucial part of computers, human memory, as well as organizing data or your papers on your desk.

The Human Mind
The human mind does not run out of space, storage is unlimited, but the problem is one of organization. We have an infinite capacity for memories, but we have only a finite amount of time in which to search for them.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
