Ep 98 | Mental Models


Listen Later

The more you learn, the more you’ll realize that you’re barely scratching the surface of the knowledge out there. That being said, if we can learn to focus on the big principles from different fields and understand how they intertwine with each other, we will be able to think faster, more accurately, and make smarter decisions without having to concern ourselves over the minor details.

The big principles we’re talking about are called “Mental Models” and that’s what we explore in today’s episode. We cover attribution theory, autocatalysts, compound interest, and discounted cash flow — not just in their literal senses, but also as they translate into other fields of knowledge that may seem unrelated.

This conversation was an absolute blast and felt like it could go on forever, so we hope you enjoy it just as much as we did.
