Twists on all of these: 1) Thinking “I am different” when warranted; fall back to the base rate otherwise. 2) Draw only the most general lessons from Bezos, Musk, Gates. 3) Require solid proof for irreversible decisions. 4) Judge the source before the ideas. (See: LKY, Dalio)

5) Seek immediate improvement when the learning domain is kind. 6) Understand that tactics are more actionable than principles, and therefore may lead to the experiential skeleton necessary to understand the principles. 7) Actually this is great — don’t learn to avoid doing.

The meta principle behind this response tweet is that it’s often more useful to listen to stories than general advice. (A different set of rules apply to specific advice!)
