A few more examples of asymmetric opportunities (limited downside, unlimited upside): - trying a new class or hobby - meeting new people - publicly posting your thoughts & ideas - applying to stretch schools, stretch jobs, and other stretch opportunities - reading - being helpfulhttps://twitter.com/JamesClear/status/1054835950059163649 …
Publicly posting your thoughts has asymmetric upside until you hit a certain level of "fame" (fragility), and then it has asymmetric downside.

Or does fame increase the upside (given the exponentially larger audience that will see the thoughts one posts after they achieve fame)? Just need to ignore the inevitable social media trolls and haters, but that’s a small price to pay for yielding real influence.
