bringing in some old ideas

Should consider starting a Failure Journal

Questions to answer

What is the “failure”?

Why do I call this a failure?

What did I do wrong?

What would it have meant for it to be a success?

What is the lesson I learned from this experiment?

Who can benefit from this lesson?

What’s a benefit that has come from this failure?

Being precise about when we are moving up and down these layers always seemed important to me

I think this applies to System Design generally and to SDM

Why aren’t all people who claim to be highly rational not utilitarians ?

i.e.

Why do so many expected value maximizers go into finance and economics and worry more about personal financial gain over marginal moral impact ?

If Amazon priced items based on how long they needed to be shipped, would that work effectively as a carbon tax for online shopping ?
