“Essentially, all models are wrong, but some are useful.”
George E. P. Box
I held a belief for 15 years that meditation had to be the first thing after waking. Then I ran one experiment: sun exposure before meditating. It produced one of the most productive days of the year. Two consecutive days confirmed. A belief that survived 15 years dissolved in 48 hours.
The more experiments you run, the more fit you become to your environment. The more accurate your model of the world. No experiments, no updates. The world keeps moving. The gap widens.
I believed meditation had to come first. The test proved me wrong. Fifteen years of that gap.
More experiments, more fit. Fewer experiments, more wrong.
