A thought experiment encourages evaluating peers by considering who you would invest in to receive a percentage of their future earnings. This approach prompts introspection on the qualities, values, and behaviors that define successful individuals. By analyzing others, one can gain insights into desirable traits, effectively sidestepping self-awareness biases that complicate personal reflection.
