mistakin’
A model of satisfaction.
I made a simple model of joy based on what I learned from physics and quantum mechanics. When I look at the model, one message resonates: Mistakes are a critical part of creating a life that consistently provides joy and satisfaction. The brand mistakin’ emerges from this.
I could be wrong, but according to the model, that’s okay.

Reality has game mechanics.
Know the rules.
The universe obeys the laws of causality and superposition.
In other words: Everything matters, and it all adds up.
The Joy Equation
At the core of the model is a simple, yet powerful, equation that governs your experience of joy:
Action ⋅ Care = Joy
The model almost feels as though my grandmother is lecturing me somehow. A truth is immediately visible: joy requires care and action. When either is missing, there can be no joy. But notice this as well: when action and care are present, joy increases exponentially.

1. There is only one place. Here.
All reduced linear systems center on the origin. This is “here”. Here is your singular, constant point of interface with the larger universe. Any real action you can perform must be performed here. All things are simpler when reduced to the immediate.
2. There is only one time. Now.
“Now” is the continuous conversion of quantum possibility (future) into the discrete causal record (past). It is this transition that we perceive as reality. It is the only perceivable state of the universe, and the only state we can interact with directly.
3. There is only one question. What happens next?
The universe is required to create a plausible record of events out of quantum possiblity. But the universe is efficient and only records current events when they have an effect on the future state. As part of the universe, we must be accounted for. The universe demands our input when calculating the state of the next moment.
4. There is only one guarantee. All actions have consequences.
Causality demands accountability. And this means that even tiny actions matter and are included in the record (our thoughts are in there). Tiny impacts can and do sum to great effect. Similarly, each mistake can be assumed to contribute to a greater understanding even when we don’t see it.
More to come…
The game of reality is always in session. I’ll be bringing new tools, perspectives, tales of misadventure, and more as this thing unfolds. Embrace the mistakin’ philosophy, explore the rules, and start crafting your own model of satisfaction.
