“Personally, I’ve gotten so that I now use a kind of two-track analysis. First, what are the factors that really govern the interests involved, rationally considered? And second, what are the subconscious influences where the brain at a subconscious level is automatically conclusions in various ways — which, by and large, are useful — but which often malfunction? One approach is rationality… And the other is to evaluate the psychological factors that cause subconscious conclusions — many of which are wrong.” WayFirstsKindTwoUseCausesInterestLevelsBrainInfluenceInvolvedApproachTrackVariousPsychologicalFactorsConclusionAnalysisSubconsciousRationalityEvaluateMalfunction Author:Charlie Munger

“Allowing the fly to sink to the fish's level, the angler makes a retrieve. The fly comes directly at the fish, which suddenly sees its approach. As the small fly get nearer, the fish moves forward to strike, but the tiny fly doesn't flee at the sight of the predator. Instead it continues to come directly toward the fish. Suddenly the fish realizes intuitively that something is wrong(its never happened before), so it flees until it can assess the situation. An opportunity for the angler has been lost.” Has BeensMovingOpportunityLostRealizingLevelsSituationHappenedSeaApproachRiversSightFishesStrikesTinyMoving ForwardBoatLakesFishingAllowingPredatorAnglers Author:Lefty Kreh
