There’s no single optimal generalizable path, though completely agree that accrue value, move slow, do nothing, etc. — is frequently overlooked as the most effective path forward.

Better to parse it as "position yourself to be better positioned in the future as the environment changes" I think.

Maybe, though this is assumed via “overall ecosystem dynamics” and “ maximizing future opportunities available” - since in some situations having a less optimal position in the near future is the optimal response long term, though maybe you’re including “better” to cover that, but then to me better feels redundant.
