I realized we forgot to put in the footnotes! There was one footnote which was pretty important, I’ll put it here because it’s related to what you said. It was a footnote after the “make the planners with your goal better at planning” sub-maxim.
This was an “aha” moment for me: Even such everyday actions as “briefly glance up from your phone so you can see where you are going when walking through a building” are instances of following this maxim! You are looking up from your phone so that you can acquire more relevant data (the location of the door, the location of the door handle, etc.) for your immediate-future-self to make use of. Your immediate-future-self will have a slightly better world-model as a result, and thus be better than you at making plans. In particular, your immediate future self will be able, e.g., to choose the correct moment & location to grab the door handle, by contrast with your present self who is looking at Twitter and does not know where to grab.

Footnotes are now added in (thanks Ramana!)
