    I struggled with elocution while recording this episode. One might think that *checking* people are good to their word, would be so obvious and intuitive that it would never require a heuristic to manage. Yet we allow ourselves to be disoriented by speech and thought frequently, get taken for a ride, and usually we are vulnerable to such bamboozlement because we forget to notice how other people actually behave. A fascinating video on corporate fraud can be found here.

  • "We All Have Strength Enough to Endure the Misfortunes of Others."

    I would have written a shorter episode if I only had the time. The Maxims of Francois de la Rochefoucauld (hear my struggle to pronounce it) provide this weeks heuristic, which I could reword as 'if they don't care, why should you?' damn. Why didn't I think of that sooner. I would have put it in the script. Anyway, I apply it in the context of the spotlight effect - we tend to think people are paying more attention to us than they are. In accurately perceiving how little others care, we can relax ourselves.

  • Nothing Works All The Time

    Nothing endures but change. In this episode dedicated to NBA All-Time Great Bill Russell, I get to compare the wisdom of Russell to that of Miyamoto Musashi my number one philosophical influence. Basically the more successful a strategy or tactic is, the more likely it's going to find that brick wall to bump up against one day. Just add time to any successful strategy and it will fail. Names dropped are Bill Russell, Miyamoto Musashi, I also invoke Godel's Incompleteness Theorem, but I'm not going to link to that because I don't understand it. Efficiency Market Theory (Which kind of contradicts "Assume Inefficiency" or Episode 4) and Say's Law come up and I promised a link to a simple explainer video and here it is. Lastly, I recommend reading 'What Got You Here Won't Get You There' by Marshall Goldsmith. All in under 12 minutes!
