Rice & Garlic & More Smaller Steps | #115

My rice'n'garlic advice, "take many more much smaller steps," can be said another way: reject any proposed path that requires a step size larger than the limit you've set for that particular domain of activity. "Rice'n'garlic advice" is blind advice, for when people ask you what to do, but you're not there & can't see. You have to guess. A professional chef I know, when asked to give blind advice, always says this: 1) That's too much rice. 2) That's not enough garlic. This kind of advice isn't expressing a universal law. (It is difficult to do, but you *can* have too much garlic, after all.) Nevertheless, for most people doing the asking, most of the time, that's a pretty good hipshot, applicable to most of her actual audience. My blind advice, in that same spirit, is this: Take many more much smaller steps. It's not a universal law. It's just a shot from the hip, and I find it's generally good advice, for most of the people asking, most of the time. Here's how it works.
