Big-World Intuitions: Focusing on Growth Over Competition

The concept of "big-world intuitions" describes heuristics that are effective when an individual or entity operates within a large, complex system where their actions have minimal immediate impact on the overall environment. These intuitions suggest focusing on personal growth, value creation, and adherence to general principles rather than meticulously calculating the specific consequences of each action on others. Examples include startups in large markets, small traders, early-stage game players, and species with abundant resources, all of whom benefit from strategies that prioritize self-development and broad principles over immediate, localized adversarial thinking.
