Was du mitnimmst
- Die meisten Meinungen sind nur kopiert von Influencern, die wiederum die Massenmedien nachplappern.
- Eigenständiges Denken ist selten, deshalb dauert es oft sehr lange, bis sich falsche Vorstellungen ändern.
- Um eine eigene Meinung zu bilden, sollte man bei den nackten Fakten anfangen und nur von dort aus weiterdenken.

0:00Uh Gwinder Bogle's got this idea two-step flow theory. Most people's opinions are copied from their favorite influencers who in turn copy the opinions of their favorite mass media. As such, politics is largely a battle between two armies of puppets being ventriloquized by a handful of actual thinkers. And that's the you defend uh an opinion. So many people are afraid of changing the mind when most of their beliefs aren't even theirs to begin with. And there's people who want to know more and those who want to defend what they already believe. Oh, so interesting. because it was kind of like this is like the kind of like the Mark Manson quote. I thought it was going to go in a different direction. So I So based on that premise, my expected outcome was um these people copy the behaviors of their favorite influencers and the influencers are using the most tested thing that the masses have said is the highest performing version of those.
0:46>> Oh, okay. So it's like a means outcome. It's like, oh, the best rose to the top and then everybody's copying that. Well, I mean maybe, but I think that the point here is that original thinking is very rare. >> Yeah. >> And that you have it's maybe one of the reasons why you get conceptual inertia and stuff takes a very long time to change. Even after a heliocentric version of the universe is [ __ ] you know, turned around, you have a long time for humans to catch up. And I wonder whether this plays back into the breakup thing. She's like there's just this [ __ ] conceptual inertia sometimes thought patterns for someone who has trained it perhaps be able to change like that but [ __ ] me when you start to scale that across an entire society and media and legislation and government and expectation and religion and what what is it a lumbering behemoth that sort of drags its feet. we end up with that thinking is hard which is why the vast majority of people delegate it
1:55>> and I and what's really interesting and I think you had George Mack and this is his whole thing with high agency >> like you can you can be exceptional by just actually trying to come up with your own opinions >> like and and starting with what do we what are the few things we know which is you reasoning from first principles which people say over and over again but don't know what reasoning from first principles is to begin with which is we start with the facts the things that we are obser in the observable universe and we only go from there and we build on that and if we if we arrive at our current thing then I will also agree with it if I don't arrive at the current thing then I'll arrive at somewhere else and then I'll have reasoning to believe that thing and the thing is is that if you do reason from first principles it does give you the ability to sustain the course for an extended period of time because your logic sound. And so you can look at everyone and there's one of my favorite memes. I have like my two favorite memes of all time. Um, and one of them is there's this one dude and they probably seen it with in front of like a zillion little heads that are going the other way. And he says, "Yes, you're all wrong." And I I love that meme because to me it's like that meme is agency. It's like I know I don't know why you all believe what you believe, but I know why I believe what I believe. And until I have observable evidence that somehow contradicts my the stack that has built this belief, this is what I'm going with. The problem is that this takes time
3:22>> to do that research to do that thinking and and and come to it. Whereas and as much as we can uh you know uh throw shade at people who delegate decision-m we all do because you can't actually derive you don't have enough time >> to first. Yeah. You don't have enough time. So, we have to just be more purposeful about what are what are the beliefs that I'm actually like what hills will I die on? So, I will die on my hill of of of behavior change because that is what I spent a huge amount of my time, you know, thinking about. Um, but if if if it's around food stuff, I'm like, I don't know. Like, and I was in the and I was in the business for for 13 years. Like, I was in the business for a long time. Um, you know, around fitness and nutrition and things like that. But even then, it's like I you know what, this guy's Dr. Mike's smart and I believe that he spent his time looking at all this stuff. So, I'm just going to delegate my thinking to him.
4:09>> Incentives are aligned. >> Yeah. >> If he doesn't get people leaner or more muscular, then his business falls apart. >> Pretty expertise. >> Yeah. >> Real quick, I'm going to show you the exact 10stage road map from zero to 100 million plus that less than 1% of companies finish I've now done multiple times. And so I can say with a lot of confidence that these are the stages as headcount increases that you need to get through. And I broke each of these down by eight different functions of the business. What the constraint feels like, like what are the symptoms of it when you're going through it and then what steps we actually took to graduate.
4:42And we've done this across software, physical products, uh, service businesses, brickandmortar, all of this. And it works. And it's my gift to you. It's absolutely free.
