“You can't trust your judgment when your imagination is out of focus.”
— Paul Graham

Simplified Meaning:
When your imagination is scattered or unclear, your ability to make good decisions is weakened. Think of it like trying to drive through thick fog; you can't see where you're going clearly, so you might take a wrong turn or miss important signs. If your mind is filled with too many ideas or distractions, you can't see the best path forward. For example, if you're planning a big event and you keep getting caught up in wild, unrealistic details, you might forget essential parts like the guest list or food. To make strong decisions, you need to have a clear and focused imagination. So, before making important choices, take a moment to clear your thoughts and focus on what really matters.
