Does the “If you don’t know what you need, take power” quote have any origin before this? I searched for it but only found it in a post on heuristics that linked back here. I would be interested in more discussion around it before I adopt it as a method.
Reminds me of The Left Hand of Darkness—one bit where the main character says something along the lines of, ‘If action ceases to be profitable, gather information.’ but there were two layers to it, with something else to do either between the two or after gathering information.
