## Tactical Playbook
- Systematically engineer exposure to high-convexity opportunities where the potential upside from volatility far outweighs the controlled downside.
- Apply via negativa by aggressively pruning low-signal information streams and bureaucratic clutter to expose the underlying structural reality.
- Demand 'skin in the game' as a non-negotiable filter, discarding any strategy or advice from actors who do not share in the downside of failure.
- Engage in relentless intellectual confrontation to expose fragilistas and 'Intellectuals Yet Idiots' who rely on theoretical models over empirical, Lindy-compatible evidence.
