Adding:

- Learn faster than others
- Ability & willingness to fail publicly
- Ability & willingness to look like an idiot
Also adding the ability to integrate work and life into a seamless flywheel rather than seeing them as distinct parts that need to be optimized.

Everything fits together: work, relationships, health, spirituality.
Optimizing for one compromises the whole.

“Tradition is a set of solutions for which we have forgotten the problems. Throw away the solution and you get the problem back. Sometimes the problem has mutated or disappeared. Often it is still there as strong as it ever was.”

— Donald Kingsbury
We used to have a tradition of quarantine, balance sheets with lots of capital, saving money, domestic manufacturing capabilities for critical components, larger levels of inventory, etc.
Don't think of tradition as irrational until you fully understand and appreciate the role it played.

Common causes of bad decisions:

1. Assumptions from small sample sizes
2. Wanting the world to work the way we want
3. Conforming to expectations/authority/group
4. Blindness to large trends
5. Inability to determine "and then what"
6. Using incorrect maps

What am I missing?
7. This is the way we’ve always done it.
