Knowing is not half the battle
The insight from the snip provides an anecdote about the 80s TV show GI Joe, where a famous catchphrase 'Knowing is half the battle' was used to teach children important life lessons. However, the speaker argues that this catchphrase is a fallacy, naming it the GI Joe fallacy. The speaker explains that knowing what needs to be done is not equivalent to actually implementing it, citing personal examples like knowing about fitness but struggling to follow through. Thus, the speaker suggests that the true completion of the battle lies not just in knowledge but in action as well.
