The Why Behind Our Results
Kill the Ego
We don't care if we invented the right answer. If we are wrong, we will throw away that idea. The right idea trumps all other concerns. And we want to know the edges of our competency. If we don't know something, we admit it. We want to know what we don't know.
Discipline Snowballs
Just like compounded investing over time, constant progress is what matters. The slightest angle off on a journey can produce vastly different outcomes. None of this is new or different thinking, we just do it. Simple, not easy.
Don't Reinvent the Wheel
It's almost said so much, no one knows what it truly means anymore. It applies to everything, especially knowledge. We study history so we don't repeat mistakes and we extract known formulas for success.
Results Aren't Always Causation
Some people are rich due to dumb luck or vastly richer due to factors outside of their control. We are careful not to put too much weight on extracting the causation of a net worth. We continue to rely on studies and evidence-based approaches. Anecdotal results are not a reliable method to study on its own.
The Right Answer is Always in the Data
You just need to have all the data. We read everything and eventually the signal starts to come from the noise. Once you know the way, you begin to see the way in all things. And the only way to know, is to first dive into the noise and the data and begin to learn. Funny how the same way we train AI is how we must train ourselves. Feedback loop.
