1/9 Ever felt paralyzed by indecision, unable to choose between two equally good options? Meet the paradoxical "Buridan's Donkey" 🐴, a mental model that epitomizes this struggle. #ThinkersToolkit Image
2/9 This model is named after the 14th-century philosopher Jean Buridan. The donkey, positioned exactly midway between two identical bales of hay, dies of hunger, unable to make a rational decision to eat from one or the other. #MentalModels
3/9 Buridan's Donkey is a metaphor for the paradox of choice. We often face situations where we're torn between equally appealing options. The inability to choose can lead to inaction, which is a choice in itself - often detrimental. #DecisionMaking
