TRIBES ARE EVERYWHERE #1
- Countries, states, parties, companies, industries, departments, investment styles, economic philosophies, religions, families, schools, majors, credentials, Twitter communities.
TRIBES ARE EVERYWHERE #2
- Tribes reduce the ability to challenge ideas or diversify your views because no one wants to lose support of the tribe.
- Tribes are as self-interested as people, encouraging ideas and narratives that promote their survival. But they’re exponentially more influential than any single person. So tribes are very effective at promoting views that aren’t analytical or rational, and people loyal to their tribes are very poor at realizing it.
EVERYTHING'S BEEN DONE BEFORE. THE SCENES CHANGE BUT THE BEHAVIORS AND OUTCOMES DON'T
The biggest lesson from the 100 billion people who are no longer alive is that they tried everything we’re trying today. They swung from optimism to pessimism at the worst times. They battled unsuccessfully against reversion to the mean. They learned that popular things seem safe because so many people are involved, but they’re most dangerous because they’re most competitive.
Same stuff that guides today, and will guide tomorrow.

"Mens sana in corpore sano"

10 of the most bizarre elections in American history
1800: Jefferson and Adams
The outcome was so bizarre, the United States had to amend the Constitution.
- The election of 1800 saw Thomas Jefferson tie with his Democratic-Republican "running mate" Aaron Burr. Both...
1824: 'Corrupt bargain'
- Andrew Jackson won the popular vote by less than 39,000 ballots and took 99 Electoral College votes. John Quincy Adams secured 84, William Crawford won 41, and Henry Clay had 37.
- Clay, with the least votes, got the boot, and his supporters shifted their support to Adams, who would go on to win the majority of the House vote.
After his inauguration, Adams selected Clay as his secretary of state. Jackson accused Adams and Clay of a "corrupt bargain."
1860: Nation divided
The 1860 election was notable because it ripped the long-dominant Party (and nation) in half.
- The Democrats were unable at their 1860 convention to establish an official party line on slavery.
- At a second convention that year, the Democrats nominated Stephen Douglas, but many Southerners in the party selected Breckinridge as their man. Both would claim to be the official Democratic candidate.
- Lincoln snared 40% of the popular vote but took most of the North in the Electoral College.
- Douglas was second in the popular vote but took only Missouri.
- Breckenridge took most of the South.
- Bell's middle of the road policies earned him the middle of the road.
In 1861, delegates from South Carolina, and six of the Southern states formed the Confederate States of America and selected Jefferson Davis as their president.
