Satisficing is optimization. I’d say even more generally, any kind of decision process is a kind of optimization because it’s driving the world towards a particular state based on the decision method, even if that’s something like “optimizing” for higher entropy. The only way not to optimize is to not make decisions which means not changing what happens based on feedback.
