Overview

The concept of Sugoi Search is "Making Luck Scientific".
Here, "luck" is not mere coincidence, but is determined by:

The combination of the power to explore and the power to recognize.

Only when these two powers come together can you truly "seize luck" in the meaningful sense.

The Equation of Luck

The magnitude of luck can be expressed as the product of the power to explore and the power to recognize.

As this equation shows, if either power is close to zero, the total amount of luck becomes small. For example:

• Even if you explore widely, without the power to recognize value, you cannot make significant discoveries
• Even if you have excellent recognition skills, if your exploration range is narrow, your opportunities for discovery are limited

Ideally, enhancing both powers in a balanced way is the secret to becoming a "lucky person."

What is the Power to Explore

The power to explore is the ability to expand your accessible range (exploration space) through action and information gathering.

Even if valuable objects exist within the expanded exploration space, discovery cannot occur if you cannot access that space.

Example: To find gold in a mine, you first need to dig to where the gold is located.

What is the Power to Recognize

Finding something through exploration is meaningless if you cannot determine that it is valuable.
This is the ability to connect discoveries with your knowledge and context.

Example: Even if you find gold, you might throw it away if you don't know it's a valuable metal.

The Synergistic Effect of the Two Powers

• Power to Explore → Reach new territories
• Power to Recognize → Discern value from what you've reached

Only when these two combine can you truly say you've "obtained luck." Throughout history, there are numerous cases where discoveries were made, but recognition of their value was delayed.

We won't delve deeper here, but there are many specific methods to enhance these two powers. For more details, refer to the following

Concrete Examples of the Power to Recognize

Modern people might think, "Surely anyone would recognize the value of finding gold."

However, that's only because the value of gold has already been established as common knowledge in society.

Looking back at history, there are numerous cases where valuable discoveries were right in front of people,

but they failed to recognize their importance.

Google Search Algorithm (around 1998)

The PageRank technology itself was mathematically known, but very few people realized it could create enormous value when applied to web search.

Discovery of Penicillin (1928)

Alexander Fleming accidentally observed bacteria dying due to mold in a culture dish.
Many researchers might have disposed of it as a "failure," but he recognized its potential as an antibiotic.

Coelacanth (1938)

An ancient fish thought to have gone extinct 65 million years ago was accidentally caught in a South African fisherman's net.
The local museum director recognized its importance, making it one of the greatest discoveries in biological history as a "living fossil."

Discovery of Oil (19th century)

Before the 19th century, the black liquid (crude oil) seeping from the ground was known in many regions, but most people considered it a troublesome substance.
However, some entrepreneurs realized this substance could be refined into kerosene, and after the invention of internal combustion engines, its value as fuel increased explosively, transforming it into a resource that became the foundation of modern civilization.

Summary

Unless you're confined alone in a completely white space, there might be the sprout of good fortune right in front of your eyes at this very moment.

If you can sharpen your power to recognize, you'll be able to seize that good fortune.

The Role of Sugoi Search

Expanding the Exploration Space

Through various search functions, you can access information and ideas beyond the normal search range.

Training the Power to Recognize

Through dialogue with LLMs, you incorporate new knowledge into your matrix (framework of thinking), preparing to transform future discoveries into value.

As a result, it leads you not just to find information, but to a state where you can utilize the information you've found.

Summary

Sugoi Search's concept of "Making Luck Scientific" is realized through the combination of the power to explore and the power to recognize. By enhancing these two powers, you can obtain luck not by mere chance, but in a planned manner.
