King in later pickup effort model is high return for low apparent effort: fundamentals tight, logistics planned, you look like you are not working. You do not start here. You pass through Jester. the man who ignored women cannot slip into King; he has to play first.[1]
Method
- Raise efficiency: fundamentals, venues you know, a default lead, fewer dummy questions.
- Hide the remaining work (sprezzatura).
- Do not cosplay King while you still have no approaches. That is Unknown in a nicer shirt.
Failure mode
Declaring yourself King. The field decides.
