I would have really liked to have a temporary node to test the outputs.
Better than that, I would have liked to see the truth table update in real time without running the tests.
The mindset I use is to believe (without evidence) that a solution exists. That allows me to see solutions faster because I'm not fighting with myself.
Put yourself into the world where the solution exists.
Another thing to consider is that while a utility function may exist, completing as fast as possible may not a requirement. Waiting until biological life is no longer feasible before proceeding to fully optimize the utility function would allow us to both coexist.

They are playing a game to win the electoral college, expect if it were popular vote they would play a different game with different policies
I want to respectfully disagree. Being present in the moment is not a result of valuing attention, but instead about letting the conversation about the past and the future go. About dropping the fears that were created in the past; the same fears that have us worry about the future. It's about letting go of fears and expectations. Letting go of the meaning we assign to the past and future. About really choosing the perspective that we wish to view the present through, rather than being at the effect of the stories we make up about the past and future.
