14/ "It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so."

So the next time you catch yourself marveling at your skill at a task, remember the Dunning-Kruger Effect and the strategies for avoiding it.

It's much easier to lose fat when you have a lot of muscle on your frame.

Skinny fat people need to get more weight on the bar and put on more muscle first, instead of doing a cut right away.

-Life Math Money

For those who can't visualize it:

Imagine following two cars:

✅ Toyota Prius with 50 horse power

✅ Mercedes CLS 53 AMG with 500 horse power

Your muscles = horse power

The Mercedes will burn much more even driving slow = while you are resting or sleeping

Tearing someone down is a short term play. Building others up is a long term play.

Surround yourself with people who play the long game.

A perk of fasting regularly for years:

Your mind stops constantly thinking about food, and you can focus more deeply and clearly as a result.

Popular opinion: Kids should set goals

Unpopular opinion: Kids should set Anti-Goals

What if kids could get to where they want by avoiding what they don’t want?

A thread 👇

I recently learned a new trick from Charlie Munger who stated:

“Tell me where I’m going to die, so I’ll never go there.”

He’s talking about inversion: the idea that reversing a problem can help to solve it.

Here’s how Munger put it:

“Problems frequently get easier if you turn them around in reverse. In other words, if you want to help India, the question you should ask is *not* ‘how can I help India,’ it’s ‘what is doing the worst damage in India and how do I avoid it?”

Based on the concept of inversion, awilkinson and _Sparling_ the came up with Anti-Goals:

A problem solving strategy to help you focus on what you *don’t* want so you can work out what you do want.

I feel there's a way to connect Anti-Goals to kids.

Most kids have no idea what they want.

It’s easier for them to think about what they *don’t* want than what they do, yet we continue to focus on helping them set goals.

This process results in a compilation of ideas from teachers & parents that hardly represent what kids want.

What if we turn the exercise around and help kids set Anti-Goals?

1. List the things they *don't* enjoy doing or make them unhappy

2. List the specific steps they will implement to ensure these won’t happen

By keeping in mind what to avoid, it’s easier to know what to do.

If you're young and ambitious, you have 2 career options:

1. Enter an old industry - Wait 20 years until experienced people retire.

2. Enter a new industry - Become an expert in 12 months.

The competitive advantage of being young is you're an internet native. Use it.
