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.

SELF-INTEREST CAN LEAD PEOPLE TO BELIEVE AND JUSTIFY ALMOST ANYTHING

I have seen investors justify strategies and sales techniques they fiercely argued against at previous employers, coming around the moment their career depended on it. These are good, honest people.

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.

MULTI-DISCIPLINARY LEARNING AND COMMUNICATION

There’s as much to learn about your field from other fields than there is within your field. Once you see the roots shared by most fields you realize there’s a sink of information you’ve been ignoring.

Communication is important. Many doctors who struggle to communicate effectively with the...

ROOM FOR ERROR IS UNDERAPPRECIATED AND MISUNDERSTOODD

It’s usually viewed as a conservative hedge, used by those who don’t want to take much risk. But when used appropriately it’s the opposite. Room for error lets you stick around long enough to let the odds of benefiting from a low-probability outcome fall in your favor.

YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES MAKE UP MAYBE 0.00000001% OF WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THE WORLD BUT MAYBE 80% OF HOW YOU THINK THE WORLD WORKS

People believe what they’ve seen happen exponentially more than what they read about has happened to other people, if they read about other people at all. We’re all biased to our own personal history. Everyone.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Ghazala Begum

Giovanna Scalzone

Laetitia Berton

Jamyson Haug
