Imagine you've played political and professional games all your life and discovered, from experience, that doing the most selfish thing always worked and rules didn't have consequences for you. To a rule-abiding outsider, this might look like 4D chess. It's really not.

I like the term 'resulting' from poker: making inferences about the decision quality from observed outcomes. That's what everyone keeps doing (me included). Assuming brilliant grand strategy. It's not. It's just bad people with power using it without concern for consequence.

Oh, p.s. I got 'resulting' from
@AnnieDuke's book Thinking in Bets. I've been listening to it on@audible_com on mid-day walks. I have some criticisms, but mostly it's an excellent and engaging introduction to decision making.1 reply 0 retweets 1 likeShow this thread -
I absolutely love the idea of listening to podcasts on mid-day walks! I want to incorporate this into my workflow.

I just started the mid-day walk thing. Finishing my dissertation from my apartment and sitting for 12 hours was starting to induce 𝓓𝓮𝓵𝓲𝓻𝓲𝓾𝓶.. Walking with audible is sorta a self-bribe -- "you're still being productive!"

When I was writing my dissertation, I similarly had to bribe myself. I worked primarily at coffee shops and after I would finish a section or a detailed figure, I would reward myself with coffee or pastries. Your way sounds much healthier! Good luck writing! You’ll get there!

Oh no -- my way involves bribes of delicious saturated fat, also. But thanks!
