Law 1A: Find systemic changes not incremental changes - page 1

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete." -- R. Buckminster Fuller.

The desired systemic changes must take you in the direction of simplicity. An electric motor is far simpler than a gasoline combustion engine.

Don't waste your time improving the past: create the future.

Don't invest time improving a gasoline-burning piston engine when you know the future is with the electric engine.

Don't waste your time optimizing a bubble sort, implement a shell sort. Or keep the list sorted in the first place.
