In This
Episode We Discuss
What is science meant to be? What is science
pragmatically?
“Science doesn’t prove anything it just reduces
uncertainty”
If you want to know something better, it takes concentrated
cognitive effort and thinking. Wrestle with difficult ideas. Don’t
just consume
What information do you have that you can collect, how does
that inform your mental model? And how do you test that model
Crucially, how do you disprove that model?
Application: explicit vs. tacit knowledge. (Tacit = coach
intuition)
Adding that knowledge to a larger body of evidence
You don’t identified as your views, but as the being that has
certain views that are subject to change
Far important how you think than what you think
