INSIGHT

Sanity Is A Social Market

  • Sanity is socially maintained: others constantly broadcast norms that shape behavior.
  • We outsource complexity to many brains working together like a market for pricing behavior and meaning.
ADVICE

Map Your Past And Future Precisely

  • Clarify where you are and where you want to go by mapping your past and future in detail.
  • Use concrete micro-level tasks to convert high-level goals into embodied routines.
ADVICE

Solve Problems At The Lowest Level

  • Decompose tasks to the lowest actionable level and teach from the bottom up, starting with automatized micro-skills.
  • Assume ignorance before malevolence when someone fails to do a repeated task and coach the steps.
