study and read about Naval Ravikant, cognitive biases, human nature, philosophy, Charlie Munger, Ancient History, Greek Mythology, psychology, the nervous system, Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, the Hermetic Laws of the Universe, mental models, polymathy, coding, persuasion, ethics, emotional intelligence, Marcus Aurelius, Napoleon, and The Art of War.
Charlie Munger reveals the mental trick he used as a WWII meteorologist to keep pilots from dying
"One of my favorite tricks is the inversion process. When I was a meteorologist in World War Two, they told me how to draw weather maps and predict the weather, but what I was actually doing is clearing pilots to take flights. So I just reversed the problem. I inverted"
"I said, suppose I wanted to kill a lot of pilots, what would be the easy way to do it? And I soon concluded the only easy way would be to get the planes into icing they couldn't handle, or to get the pilot into a place where he'd run out of fuel before he could safely land. So I made up my mind I was going to stay miles away from killing pilots by either of those"
"If somebody asked me to fix India, I would immediately say, what could I do if I really wanted to hurt India? I'd figure out all the things that could most easily hurt India, and then I'd figure out how to avoid them. You'd say it's the same thing, just in reverse, but it works better to frequently invert the problem"
"Every great algebraist inverts all the time, because the problems are solved easier. Human beings should do the same thing in the ordinary walks of life"
