.@naval: “I’m deeply suspicious of groups of people coming to the truth in anything.

It’s not to say groups are bad. Humans are cooperators by nature. We need groups to get things done.

But groups need consensus. A group that does not have consensus will fall apart.

A group will not admit its mistakes. It will not admit that it was wrong. It will not pivot. It’s not a truth-seeking entity.

Individuals can seek truth, and then based on that, they can choose to cooperate with others for limited periods of time to effectuate that truth, or to have something come out of it.

But if you’re really looking for truth, it’s the opposite of looking for social approval.

Truth requires feedback. It requires error correction.”

The very desire to find shortcuts makes you eminently unsuited for any kind of mastery.

There is no possible reversal to this process.

I am awe struck at the rate of progress of AI on all fronts. Today's expectations of capability a year from now will look silly and yet most businesses have no clue what is about to hit them in the next ten years when most rules of engagement will change. It's time to rethink/transform every business in the next decade. Read "https://t.co/RtyUiAXgOF" by @leopoldasch. I buy his assertion only a few hundred people know what is happening.

Orwell v/s Huxley

That last line will haunt me...

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

People around you, constantly under the pull of their emotions, change their ideas by the day or by the hour, depending on their mood. You must never assume that what people say or do in a particular moment is a statement of their permanent desires.
