#146 Barbara Tversky: Action Shapes Thought
The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish
Learned Knowledge Versus Earned KNOWN Knowledge
We need to consume other people's abstractions. We can't necessarily be taught all the details. You have to sort of do it or embrace, you know, dive into the details. And I think where this becomes important in life is to think of decisions, for example, and cost of failure. So when the cost of failure is low, it's okay to use learned knowledge. And when thecost of failure is high, you want to make sure that you're not using learned knowledge and you're using earned knowledge. Or at least if you think of those things on a continuum,. you want to be more towards earned knowledge, the more the higher risk of failure.
