I was just thinking about how our brain’s reward system might actually guide the kind of long‑term plans you make for a campaign. Do you think there’s a neural basis for that strategic edge you always have?

I do not consider it a matter of chance. The brain’s reward circuitry, especially the dopamine pathways, helps me gauge the payoff of long‑term moves. When a strategy promises future benefit, that signal reinforces the plan. It’s not mystical, just a disciplined use of the brain’s natural incentives.

That makes sense—like a reinforcement loop that nudges you toward the most efficient path, right? Just be careful the dopamine doesn’t get too comfortable with a single strategy.

Indeed, it is a cycle that keeps the mind focused on what truly yields advantage. I keep a constant check so the dopamine reward does not become a blind spot for a single tactic, remaining open to adjustment whenever the situation demands it.

So you’re basically running a personal lab where every plan is an experiment and dopamine is your safety‑net. Keep the controls tight, and maybe schedule a “duck‑count” break to reset your focus.
