@DeerValley you really need to work on your new gondolas. Deer Valley East gondola shut down for almost an hour so far. Not the ‘Deer Valley’ experience I was hoping for..
Donald Trump has no greater friend than the far left, which has managed to alienate historic numbers of Latinos, Blacks, Asians, and Jews from the Democratic Party with absurdities like “Defund the Police” or “From the River to the Sea” or “Latinx.”
There is more to lose than there is to gain politically from pandering to a far left that is more representative of Twitter, Twitch, and TikTok than it is of the real world. The working class is not buying the ivory-towered nonsense that the far left is selling.
10 Mental Models that will level up your Thinking:
1. First Principle Thinking - Rethink the problem from the ground up.
Separate the underlying facts from assumptions made based on them.
2. Second-Order Thinking - Instead of thinking about the immediate consequences, think about the second-level consequences.
3. Inversion - Look at the problem at hand from the endpoint instead of the starting point.
Don't ask: "What do I need to do?"
Ask: "What must I avoid?"
4. Opportunity Costs - Think about the costs that arise because you decide in favor of one option and thus against every other option.
5. Randomness - Keep in mind that there aren't always cause-effect relationships.
Lots of stuff is random.
6. Leverage - “Give me a lever long enough and I shall move the world.” - Archimedes
7. Margin of Safety - Assume that your assumptions can be wrong and plan with a safety margin.
8. Occam's Razor - Always choose the less complex explanation/option.
"Never multiply unnecessarily."
9. Law of Diminishing Returns - Up to a certain point, additional units offer more value.
But there's a turning point where additional units offer less and less value and costs rise.
10. Niches - Specializing is an effective way to success. Use it and choose a niche where you become an expert.
