Edit: while I’m at it, does anyone know what I should do when I’m waiting for a coincidence/adventure to happen, but it never comes? I can’t really go outside and arrange for it to happen because I don’t know what I’m looking for.

    Part of the reason why various philosophies dictate you should do A before B is to avoid the situation where you have a B without an A.

    “Do A before you B” is a common way of saying “A is a dependency of B”.

    It’s a way of saying “Don’t B unless you know you can A”, but it de-abstracts the knowing down to proving, by trying and either succeeding or failing.
