Episode notes
We Are Always Partially Wrong
- Everyone is wrong all the time because our mental models capture only a snippet of reality.
- We make predictions based on limited evidence, so being "right" or "wrong" feels the same internally.
Decide With Awareness of Unknowns
- Be specific about what you know versus what you don't know when making decisions.
- You can decide effectively with limited knowledge if you acknowledge uncertainties clearly.
Separate Identity from Thoughts
- Separate your identity from your mental models to avoid defensiveness.
- This allows openness to correction without threatening your sense of self.
