Jocko Underground Podcast number 59: "Birdian's Ass" is a philosophical paradox related to decision making. If you place a donkey, an ass, if you place him an equal distance between water and food, he will die of both hunger and thirst because he can't make a rational decision. Jocko says that seven out of 10 times, 70% of the time, action is better than inaction.
