- {^Tom Chi's video on "Mental Debugs"}
- I had seen this video years ago, but returned to it after talking to Tom today about my work at {Upstream Tech}. I feel like the clickbait title doesn't do it justice. There are some fantastic ideas in here that have guided how I approach learning.
- Reading on different ways to envision a sustainable planet:
- Hunter Lovens
- Paul Sheldon
- Laszlos
- "Knowing is the enemy of learning"
- Be in a state of unknowning; do not bring the experts in, embrace new possibilities and avoid matching patterns.
- By posing "what else is there still to learn about it?" the mind becomes malleable again. Mirrors approaching challenges with addiction and difficuluty with curiosity, posed by a guest in an Ezra Kline interview.
- Pick the practice gap over the knowledge gap
- Learning without doing is not bringing closer to the master gap
- The practice gap brings you to the start of the mastery gap
- The mastery gap is infinite
- Staying in the medium
- We work on things as a massive series of handoffs. Impossible to create masterpieces.
- The closer you can stay in the medium of your work, the greater the possibility of creating a masterpiece
- Metabolizability is more important than truth, "service to person in front of you"
- "How can I love my medium long enough to create my masterpiece?"
