What is the best mind? The most empty one. The more empty your mind, the more open your mind, the more interesting and unique ideas can come into your mind. Thus, it seems the wisest strategy is to optimize our mind for mind space.

Therefore as a general life strategy, rather than seeking to intake for information, strive instead the opposite: to remove more information from your mind.

More effective to unlearn than to learn. More effective to get rid of superstition than to add knowledge and wisdom. For photography art, aesthetics and design, most effective to subtract than to add.
