be maximally skeptical to the new.

Old is supreme.

perhaps even as a wise idea… The most wise course of action is, to only ever stick to the old stuff which works 80% good enough, knowing that the newer product might have some sort of critical goal flaw that you might have no idea about?

i’ll give you a random example… I just tried out this new Trader Joe’s sunblock, which looked all fancy and whatever… But the big up side was also the downside that I had no idea about, it is actually an actuality super slippery, and as a consequence, it accidentally got on my bike seat, and I almost slipped off my bike? Thank God it wasn’t my son Seneca.

so maybe then the thought is, if you have the product that always works 80% good enough, always stick to it ruthlessly, unless it just literally was discontinued or no longer exists? The same goes with phones, cameras, digital devices, analog devices, your car your bicycle etc.?
