Thanks for writing this, it clarifies a lot, what if we applied Palchinsky Principles to truly optimize AI models for human flourishing, imagine the feedback loops.
Brilliant curation. The Palchinsky Principles remind me how often we scale prematurely instead of validating ideas through small experiments first. I've seen teams burn through entire budgets on untested assumptions, when pilot programs woudl've exposed critical flaws way earlier. Shifting from variation to selection without that crucial feedback loop is where most innovation dies.
