Where's your head at?

Sometimes we should think with our heart and feel with our brain.

Only the ego finds virtue in strawmanning.

You demand agency you don't have.

And leak agency you do.

Simplicity is the highest order dividend from investing in complexity of mind.

Doing what feels like your life's work is the therapy you're looking for.

Freedom is not lack of responsibility.

It's the ability to avoid response.
To everything you don't care about.

By learning what the rules were and why they were written, you won't be better at following them.

You'll be better at breaking them with precision.

Share your resource such that you don't save yourself for poverty.

If you don't manage the finances, you'll hurt your business.

If you let the finances manage you, you'll go out of business.

<- They're not darts, they're Errows.

In the modern era where education has been highly democratized, all knowledge made essentially free to access, and intellect over labor celebrated, there's two scholars not invited to the Academy.

Trial and Error.

The marketplace highly values Experience but doesn't understand it. It's not chance the root word is shared with Experimentation.

Both come from the Latin word Experior, which means to gain Knowledge through repeated TRIALS.

Without Trial, and naturally the Errors, you lack the chance to learn what's true.

Put the book down.
Pick up some Errows.

If you're afraid to follow because no one else has, you're missing a chance to lead.

Rosa Parks followed in the footsteps of a teenager you've never heard of.

@CsillaMezei Even more powerful, have you considered asking it instead of saying it?

Lead someone's mind to say what you didn't.

It becomes their idea, and they're grateful you helped them by being interested.

@torreydawley Meanwhile, the old school business leaders sit back and sell shovels to all of them.

@jameshansensim He's just one vowel away from being honest!

(But for real, people care more about who tattoos their skin than their brain.)

@ChrisFawthrop One of my favorite quotes of all time:

"Yes, without how, means nothing."

@mikerusanoff @mcuban History is already the revelation of these ideas.

[ArchitectNext @ArchitectNext]

Our social fabric acts like camouflage.

When you start standing up for yourself, its only natural to feel exposed.

Your limbic system is not a toy for strangers to play with.

What does that mean?

It means loss prevention is the strongest behavioral motivator and many people around you know this. Why?

Across many domains we can easily observe the loss rate is greater than the gain rate. Check the stock market, the pandemic infection curves, and many more. It's often 2 to 3 times greater.

Instinctually we all know this, and value loss prevention 2 to 3 greater than gains. (See Kahneman and Tversky CPT study.)

Therefore, when presented with an offer, it's 2 to 3 times easier to scare you into decisions than help you make wise ones by placing a loss into your awareness.

This is commonly understood and used in advertising. Look for it.

There are many losses in life, purpose, self and others worth pointing out so offering ways to improve is very worthwhile and not all advertising is misleading.

The key is to figure out where you want to go first before evaluating any offer. (If you're unsure of the destination, how do you know if the ticket price is a good deal?)

Don't know where you want to go?

It's easier than you might think:
- Don't figure everything out alone
- Pay attention to your gut feeling
- Learn your intentions
- Train your brain to recognize and stop the fear response
- Use resources designed for you to discover you

My offer is: How can I help you?

"Act now before losing years of your life chasing someone else's purpose because you don't know yours." 🧐

@lessaraebiger And your perspective is proof of your scars.

Did you let them heal or still picking at the scabs?

[ArchitectNext @ArchitectNext]

@jameshansensim I don't see any numbers.

Feels too much like algebra to me.

What incentives are you reacting to?

Incentives are the strong and weak physical forces of human behavior.

We gravitate towards and are repelled from the multitude of incentives around us.

What incentives are you creating for you and others?
