We discuss https://waitbutwhy.com/2019/09/american-brain.html This series is epic, currently James and I think we'll discuss every chapter as a podcast episode. Tim Urban is awesome. We are big big fans. We'd like to chat with you Tim! Notes from episode: - Facts vs ideas. For facts there is a right or wrong. For ideas there isn't a right or wrong, there is only your current best view. - “I don’t like that man, I must get to know him better.” Lincoln - “If you want to convince someone appeal to emotion, not ration.” - “Everyone is the hero of their own story.” John Barth - “Changing your mind is a super power.” Ray Dalio - We here to help each other, not to annoy each other. No one is trying to annoy the other person. - “I never allow myself to have an opinion on anything that I don’t know the other side’s argument better than they do.” — Charlie Munger - "Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion."
