By David Perell:
1. Current vs Wind :
Novice sailors study Wind ; Experienced sailors - the Currents!
Winds change everyday ...but easy to feel;
Currents are predictable and persistent...but hard to see!
2. Akrasia: weakness of will:
It describes our tragic proclivity to act - against our best interests
even when we know what to do ; Know-Do gap
3. Nullius in Verba:
Take nobody's word for it;
Do your own investigations and figure things out for yourself!
4. Otium : Latin word for Leisure:
Play sports, Contemplate Life, Prsue writing - weeknds should be for this!
if not the weekdays!
5. Serve : Self-sacrificed life is the great paradox of life;
the more you give with the no expectation of reciprocity, Happier you will be,
in this utility-maximizing selfish world!
