#163 Jason Karp: Live A Healthier Life
The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish
The Importance of Positioning in Decision Making
One of the classes you took at Penn was an aesthetic approach to decision making./nAnd you learned about decision making through chess./nI want to talk about this class because it left a huge impact on you even to this day./nChess is a deterministic game, and the amount of information that is possible other than what's in your opponent's head is fully there./nWhereas in a game like poker, you don't fully know and can never fully know what was kind of beneath the cards, because they're hidden./nThis metaphor for me, because my father growing up in a lot of the quotes that I used to read, always talked about aspects of position, but without ever using the words position./nThe concept of like, don't burn your bridges, because you may have to cross that bridge one day is a form of positional chess./nRight? The concept of the harder I work, the luckier I become is a form of positional chess.
