I'm obsessed with mental models.

A "mental model" is a thinking tool that lets you see the hidden machinery behind everything.

These are the 11 most powerful mental models I've found: 👇

1. The Map Is Not the Territory

[مقرن المشعلي @cloudc_]

قبل ما أروح، سألته سؤال أخير:

"من بين هالـ6 أشياء، لو تقدر تصلّح شيء واحد بس... تبدأ من وين؟"

رد بسرعة:

"النوم. لأن إذا ضبط نومك، الخمس الباقية بتصير أسهل عليك."

وبعدها أضاف بهدوء:

"مرضاي ما كانوا يضرّون أجسامهم عن قصد... هم بس كانوا يأجلون التغي��ر مرة بعد مرة."

I'm obsessed with cognitive biases.

A "cognitive bias" is a built-in glitch in our brain that quietly sabotages good decisions.

These are the 11 craziest and most dangerous cognitive biases I've found: 👇

1. Survivorship Bias

I prefer not to post my woman, or engage them online, for the same reason men don't go to war with their women: she is my underbelly. Not because I'm cheating. Certainly not because I'm not proud of her. Simply, no one can get to me except through the people I love.

[Okong' Okuna @XivTroy]

I saw you alone, I pursued you alone. I did not need validation then; I certainly do not need it now. I do not need a pat on the back, I do not need convincing. I do not want to convince anyone about you either. I am convinced. And that is all you'll ever need to know.

Game theory explains why working harder inside a broken system is the worst response to that system. Because a system is never truly broken. It's just producing exactly the outcomes its own incentive structures were designed to produce, whether intentional or not. Working harder inside this system increases your output in the payoff matrix, but it simply won't change the actual structure of the system's matrix. Thus, the correct response is not more effort. Instead, you must aim to identify whose interests the current structure serves and position yourself in favor of those interests rather than against them. Change the game, or play the game that is actually being played. Either way, you must stop optimizing for the game you wish it to be and start acting realistically.

When you marry your type, from Nyeri to be specific, you have banters and comebacks back to back as a love language

The wildest part about POVERTY is how much time it steals. Waiting for buses. Calling assistance offices. Comparing grocery prices. Fighting insurance. Sitting at laundromats. Being poor is a second job nobody pays you for.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

Every game has three levels: the social (what is said), the psychological (what is meant), and the payoff (what is gained); the man who trains himself to read all three layers will never be blindsided, because every move will reveal the end before it arrives

[Incentivising @incentivising]

Follow your passion is advice from people who already have money, directly handed to people who do not.

Passion is a luxury and a romanticization of work as self-expression. For the majority of people, "following your passion" won't pay their rent, and it definitely won't improve their positioning.

The only way to make this work is to transform your passion into a viable skill, because that is the only thing that will turn hobbies into leverage.

Regardless, the safest way is to build something the world pays for first. Let the passion catch up. Because it will.

Your brain will eventually learn to thrive on the reward, strengthening your connection to your skill and transforming it into a passion.

[Incentivising @incentivising]

Game theory proves that people do not act on information. They act on incentives. You can give a person all the data they need to make a better decision, but as soon as that decision threatens their position or costs them something visible, they will try to ignore the data. Before you ever try to convince anyone of anything, map what it costs them to agree. The cost of agreeing is the obstacle, not the argument.

One thing with Kenyan urban construction sites… We will never have clean finishes and clean pavements, no matter how many “Billions” are allocated! … Just why? Are we allergic to clean work? Uurgh! @KeNHAKenya @KURAroads

History

Wildlife and beaches took historical head start. Once a product gains market dominance, it takes a lot of effort to change the status quo.

Even internationally, 90% of visitors to Kenya desire to see wildlife more than anything else

STOP starting your emails with:

“I hope you’re doing well.”

It’s correct. It’s polite. And it’s also one of the most forgettable openings there is.

If you want someone to reply, don’t start like everyone else.

Start with intention.
