The Information Advantage – A Mental Model To Get Ahead (Part 2)

Welcome to part two of my information advantage series. Humans have looked for advantages to get ahead of others throughout history. It’s a part of our competitive nature and why we are the dominant species on the planet currently. I believe a big part of our dominance is our information advantage.

The Information Advantage – A Mental Model To Get Ahead (Part 1)

My thoughts about information and how I think about it as a mental model. This is part one of a two part series where I’m exploring the topic.

I stumbled across the Stoic philosophy going down various internet rabbit holes several years ago. The concept, philosophy, way of life, school of thought, or however else you choose to look at Stoicism, has positively impacted my life and so I wanted to share it.

My 10 Guiding Principles (For Personal Decision Making)

A more personal post where I overview the 10 principles I’ve developed over time to help guide my decision making. I’d always had random ideas on principles to use to determine the actions I take but formalized a list in 2016. It’s evolved ever since then. I’d encourage you to write a preliminary list of your own principles before continuing to read this post. There are no guidelines or rules for developing your own. The only characteristic of your guiding principles that matters, in my view, is that they are true to you.
