mental models
- This, too, shall pass1
- Live with the consequences.
- Put skin in the game.
- Splitting attention is very overrated. Focus is underrated.
- Shortcuts (i.e. less upfront effort) are rarely long-term optimal. Effort is never wasted.
- Where one’s mind goes is where one’s life will.
- All beliefs come from somewhere. Know where they come from. Build your own.
- Everything, everywhere is always moving, forever2
- Personal exceptionalism (e.g. the crazy driver paradox; either you underestimate how well other people know you, or overestimate how well you know other people).
