12/ Be a first principles thinker.
Think you know something? Challenge yourself, your reasoning, and your assumptions as a matter of practice.
It's uncomfortable, but it is also essential to creating non-linear outcomes. https://t.co/31EZVZDLM1
7/ In politics?
With politics, intellectual humility is an aberration, not the norm.
Politicians espouse policy ideas with great confidence even if they have a weak handle of the details.

2/ The cognitive bias was first identified by psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger in a 1999 study.
Their paper, entitled Unskilled and Unaware of It, summarized, "People tend to hold overly favorable views of their abilities in many social and intellectual domains."
@ChrisWillx put me onto "information foraging" — a much more thoughtful articulation of this idea:
"When people look for information, they want to get as much information as possible in the minimum amount of time."

"Follow your passion" is complete complete crap.
People are passionate about things they are good at. Get really good at something, and you will become passionate at it.
Then you will make enough money to follow your original passion in your free time.
