I am fond of describing Buddhism as un-goodharting yourself all the way down.
In brief, you are a Ship of Theseus at sea (or a Ship of Neurath as Quine coined after Otto von Neurath who first made the analogy), navigating by lighthouses that you should not steer directly towards (that’s not how lighthouses work!) and avoiding whirlpools (attractors in the space of goal architectures that lock you in to a specific destination).
