“Kids love it, yeah, because. Both like super creative and love projects. And so it's like half the day is doing different projects. Like Eli's in the fourth grade, they're building an escape room in their project class. For this semester, that they have two, they split the fourth and fifth grade actually runs like a middle school, and they split them into two groups, and they're like making escape rooms for each other. And they have to build it and do.”

“The main thing they do is let them fail at things and just make them try again until they get it. And I think that goes a long way, seemingly. Although we're relatively new, so we'll see.”

“And so this new school is kind of brand new. It was only four years old. It's a school for gifted education totally. But it's not like you have to be super smart to get in. Like they're willing to take a lot of people who I think are willing to just engage with the idea. And it's more project-based learning. And so they do two things I like. One is they don't waste any time during the day. It's just kind of like, so they do way more. And so they have all the regular stuff, but they also have coding every day. They have a project class every day. And then on regular things like science or something, they're doing a project related to that thing. And they also kind of force the kids to do it. And they fail if they fail And they don't like hoddle them with it. And then they had all these other kind of random things like, you know.”

“We were at public school and it was generally good school. They both have, I don't know what it's like in Canada, but it's in the US it's state by state, but they have gifted programs. And they had something called GIP, which was like an individualized education plan for their kind of gifted scenter. But it just things were moving really slow. They were bored a lot. Our youngest who's really kind of good at math. He skipped kindergarten and then skipped another grade at math and then passed out of that grade. And they didn't really know what to do with him. And it just kind of bored, I guess.”

“Yeah, I guess it's all the same really technique, whether it's Video or a course or a movie or a podcast, you know, it's like find something really engaging you can talk about and then relate things back to it.”

“Crash Course. It's really well done. I put them all in DVDs. And so we drive to school every morning. It's like 30 minutes. And so, you know, not every day we watch the podcast. Sometimes I watch Craft Course, you know, and do the same thing. I guess it's all the same kind of general concept. It's find really good content. And then talk about the content with them.”

“Yeah, exactly. Let's talk about that. The other thing we did relatively recently is I put all the Everwatch Crash course. So it's really good. It's Samurai PBS, but two brothers. Online, animated, but them talking and talking heads to courses on economics and biology and chemistry and film and all these different things on YouTube.”

“But he's more wants to talk about the YouTube videos he's watching, you know? And so I tried to, I guess what I'm trying to say is I try to engage with them at what they're interested in.”

“Yeah, but I'm really lucky we just switched schools and I really love our kids' new school. So I feel like happy that our school may actually start to do a lot of things that we want to do now that we're not going to stop. So one thing I'm more encouraged about the kids school at the moment. But so my kids are very different. I don't know about your kids. So there's different strategies for each. So, my oldest is really into movies. And so one entry point to him, I also like movies a lot, is we've just been watching a lot of movies and then talking about them in the same way. Movies are great because the production value or thought put into every minute of a good movie is really, really high. It's a really well-produced thing. There's a lot going on there that you can talk about.”

“Yeah, that's why I like the debates in particular because you Really intelligent people talking on both sides And you get like, well, what do you like about their argument versus their argument? And it's like, well, what about what this person said versus that person said? Yeah, agreed.”

“It's like, do you understand what's going on is the first level. Then it's like, okay, why are they wanting to leave? Why do you think they want to leave the Airbus? What are their options? Why is she resigning? You know, all that kind of stuff. Just trying to like. Apart things that we know more intuitively as adults Or were told in the podcast in an adult way and trying to make sure they understand it and the logical chain into like, okay, well, how do they get to this?”

“Examples, the better. We've been listening. We first came on a bunch of kid podcasts that we listened to. But then I realized like my kids listen to the adult podcast as much. So we start, I usually listen on the daily, which is the New York Times daily podcast about things. And they do a really good job of having kind of deep dives on historical topics. This morning's was about Brexit and Theresa May and all the situation going on there. And so we just listened to Daily on the way to school and talk about it”
2019-05-14 · The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish · Gabriel Weinberg: Practical Steps to Safeguard Your Data and Identity Online · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT
“And really complicated topics. And we just play it and pause it and ask the kids what they know and what they think about it. This morning I've been, so I've been driving kids to school every morning. And these are just like random examples, tactical examples.”

“Yeah, they don't learn how to apply them. And then even half of them, they literally don't learn. Half these things I either had to come across randomly or I was really lucky to go to this interdisciplinary graduate program where I was exposed to a lot of these things. But had I not done that, I would have been stumbling along, not, you know, knowing these things for a long period of time. So we've been with parenting, we've been trying to be really explain things to kids and our kids in an adult way. So I mentioned we were listening to this debate podcast with them. And it's an adult show. It's nothing to do with kids, you know?”

“Yeah, that was one after we. So the original best write in the book was train executives. But then when I got into it, especially with my wife, our embittest was more, we think that all kids, including our kids, should learn all these things. And they generally don't learn them in school. And so”

“Yeah, exactly. Chime in if you want. And that works really well because it doesn't stop people in their tracks. But anyone can follow anything. And sometimes people call out certain people that they know might have information about this, you know, or knowledge. And if they do, they can chime in. And if not, they're not. And so that's really the core operationalizing of the validate direction.”
2019-05-14 · The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish · Gabriel Weinberg: Practical Steps to Safeguard Your Data and Identity Online · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT
“Exactly. So to avoid that, we assign a DRI for everything and projects also have a DRI. So someone will go on in their task and we have the kickoff call and they're like, okay, I know what my objective is. I'm going to go off and do this thing. But they could go off and spin their wheels. They go off in the wrong direction. They could do all sorts of things. And so what we try to say is there are a lot of other smart people in the company who may be able to do things faster, better, know the right answer. And so generally, you should be coming back and validating your direction. And so, the easiest way to do that is to just write what you're doing. And say, not stop yourself. Just say. Look, I'm going to go to this. Does anyone have any ideas or object to what I'm going to do? If no one objects, I'm just going to keep moving forward.”

“Same thing in the median if you have action items and no one's assigned the task. It often doesn't get done because people are like, well, I thought he was going to do it. Exactly.”

“Yeah, so valid direction is this gets to your point about decision and like, is the project going in the right direction? And so what we basically try to set up is another mental model we use really heavily at DuckDego. It could be in the top five, is a directly responsible individual, DRI, which we really took from Apple, which is that we really expanded it, which is that every task, every project, every objective has one person who owns it. And they are the directly responsible individual, and it avoids this diffusion of responsibility and the bystander effect other mental models, which basically like if you're on an email with five people and no one responds, it's because no one felt they were like, it was stressed to them.”

“Yeah, she's, well, there's a whole chapter in this book about statistics, which you read. She was the main one on that. She was worried that she gets something wrong. You know, we should say something wrong. Because what's funny about these mental models is you don't need to be the world's expert to apply them. But if you're going to write a book on it, you also don't want to get”

“And then the organization or you needed to be open to thinking gray about it and changing your mind And so that's what we've tried. That's the culture we've tried to create. And so I do think it's actually pretty hard to do on your own, to your point. I think it's better if you have somebody to talk to. And so like, for example, I am lucky in that I walk pretty much every morning with my wife for an hour. And that's also how this book got started is we were, we talk about all sorts of things. So company things, but also just current events and we apply these models and stuff. But she helps, you know, call me on my bullshit.”

“Yeah, so I think there's something real truth to this. I mean, this is why we have the core value of question assumptions. And so I think what you need often is somebody else to call you on this.”

“Well, it's funny because I do have a I got to be friends with a guy runs School of Thought. You're familiar with that So he's got Websites, one's called Logical Fallacy is. And it's like a list of all the biases kind of thing. And then it's got another list of logical fallacies. And so I have two posters of his on my door. And so, those are list of mental models, but they aren't the lists like from the book or anything.”

“Validate direction and build trust. And so with question assumptions, we're basically looking, should we be doing this at all? Like, is there a simpler way to do this? And so we're asking right from the beginning, almost trying to like say, maybe we shouldn't do this project. And so the only way to do that is to write out all the reasoning and then kind of discuss it. And then really question, well, maybe we can do this a different way that's cheaper or better or faster, you know?”
2019-05-14 · The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish · Gabriel Weinberg: Practical Steps to Safeguard Your Data and Identity Online · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT
“Yeah. Well, the other thing is like we're small company. I mean, I think a lot of companies are like this, but we're competing against companies that have infinite resources relative to us. And so this notion of opportunity costs, we don't have a lot of resources to waste. And so one of our kind of core values, we have three articulated, is question assumptions. And so”

“It really varies. So, what we do is we have some unique way of running the company because it's all remote. So we're not everyone's remote, it's a remote first company. And so as a result, there's a lot of, and also people are in way different time zones. And so there's a lot of asynchronous communication. And the way we run effectively is to make everything really transparent so all the projects are all open to anyone to follow. to make all that work effectively that isn't chaos, every project has a standard scoping template. And so it has like a background objective impact and complexity assessment. And so when we have a project and have a kickoff call or postmortem, it's in that framework of like what was the objective of this project? Like what are the success criteria as another way we define the objective?”

“And then you're a freer thinker. And so that's this concept of thinking, Gray. There was another people sometimes mean something else slightly different with that, which I also agree with, which is this notion of, but I categorize something else in the book called black and white thinking, where it's like, Things are either zero some way. There's only two options Usually that's completely nonsense. I mean, usually there's lots of options and there's a whole degree of things. Usually nothing's usually black and white, you know?”

“But I actually did. But maybe that's more realistic because it's the ones that pop in. But I think that comes up a lot. The idea there is like, you know, you could view this as confirmation bias too. But once you commit to a decision, it's really hard to escape confirmation bias. And you're committed to that decision. To look for things that confirm your decision. If you force yourself to actually not make a decision or not commit to absolutely believing something. Say like, I'm leaning this way, but I'm willing to entertain other evidence. Don't become part of your identity.”

“But we do have these kickoff, sometimes mid-mortem or pre-mortems where it's like a forcing function to get people to think critically about what's going on.”
2019-05-14 · The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish · Gabriel Weinberg: Practical Steps to Safeguard Your Data and Identity Online · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT
“No, that's a whole different subject. I mean, we've kind of, because objectives and projects can be more exploratory and not or may have external deadlines or not, we try to stay away from deadlines if.”

“Yeah, so another metal model that we kind of run through that is this one on one sandy meeting. So in our company, everybody has a career advisor and there's they have to have a one-on-one with them every week. And that's an unstructured meeting that's the advisee, it's their meeting, but it's a forcing function to get them to think about anything that is going on that week, what's really on their mind. Another one we use is every project needs to have a summary update. The end of every week, kind of like what happened, what's next? And again, it's a forcing function I gave you both incritically about what's going on. We have kickoff calls and postmortems for every project.”
2019-05-14 · The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish · Gabriel Weinberg: Practical Steps to Safeguard Your Data and Identity Online · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT
“So, like, in a company that can be a one on one standing meeting that you have every week to talk about something, you know, or it could be board meetings often serve this function because it's a forcing function to get you to compile all your metrics and stuff. Even if the median's not that useful, compiling all that stuff is that useful. And you can just in all sorts of ways schedule in time to go to the gym or whatever it is, you know?”

“Which is that I would just tell the executive people, and I still do, is that like you shouldn't argue that something's important and therefore we should do it. It should always be it's important and it's more important than all these other things, you know. And that just frame of mind is like changes almost everything because it's almost every decision you ever make about how to spend your time is like, am I spending it in the optimal way relative to my other options? So opportunity cost comes up. Another one that comes up a ton, which is more rare that I don't think people mention as much, is forcing function to me. So, forcing function is the idea that often operationalized as something in your calendar where you've preset a time or mechanism where something's going to happen and it forces you to think critically about something.”

“Connected. They're all connected, exactly. So we ended up trying to group them into really, how are they connected? And so we ended up with nine chapters that relate about 300. And so there's like, you know, 40 in each chapter roughly. But they're in a narrative-related fashion. And so those general chapters end up being a lot of the kind of general formulations of things you should know. So like the first chapter is on bias in general, second chapter is on unintended consequences, third chapter is on using your time wisely, that kind of stuff. So within all of those, though, if you're going to like boil it down and some of those on like business and management, and so some of that doesn't apply to everybody all the time. But the ones that really come up a lot to me are opportunity cost. Is where I started”

“Yeah, I'm curious what you think about that too because you have also a big list, right? And so what we ended up doing is the list was like a, the original list was like a big list and I organized it by discipline. And then when we started on the book, we realized that's actually not the best way to do it because even though they came out of one discipline, they're actually interrelated, often cross-discipline. And so we set out organiz”

“But my wife had just kind of left her job as a statistician and was interested in doing it. And so we decided to do it together, ended up being extremely long an amount of work. And I somehow like forgot how much work it was. And it took two and a half years basically to turn that list into an actual book. But now it's done. So I'm happy about that.”

“Yeah, go read about it. And I linked all the Wikipedia articles. So it's like here's the starting point, you know And then internally, we use them consistently when we're faced with different problems. And then my publisher from my first book reached out and was like, well, this post is really successful. Would you consider writing a book on this? And I was like, I just wrote a book and it was really difficult. It took me five years to write. That was the previous book. And so I don't really have time for this.”
2019-05-14 · The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish · Gabriel Weinberg: Practical Steps to Safeguard Your Data and Identity Online · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT
“So I'm like, okay, well, I'm going to list them all. And then I more systematically try to brainstorm my own. And then I went and started going down the rabbit hole of looking in depth at each one and like what are the related articles on Wikipedia and all these different things, just dogging my memory of other things, most of which I already knew, some of which I learned from scratch. And then I put out a blog post, mental models that I used repeatedly and ended up being about 250. That did really well. Like people really took to it. And for a while, I was just using that as in our reviews internally and saying like, you should go anything you don't know on this list, you should go really.”

“Well, I was doing that at the time. And I was like, wouldn't it be cool if there was something like a problem solver's handbook? And I was like, you know, when you're faced with a problem, like here's like a checklist or help jog your memory to see if you can convey any solutions. So I started on that road. And then I couldn't get that to work either. So then five years after that was like more like this problem. And then I end up with this list of 100 things. And I asked the guy and he knew like 30. And I was like, okay, well, that to me is what people's core curriculum should be. They should learn the rest that they don't know. So then I went and I tried to more systematically list all of them. So I went back to Munger and, you know, he has that quote about 80 to 90 models, but no one ever lists them all.”

“I don't know, it just wasn't coming together, and I started my company and the thing. I was like thinking about, I had come on to Munger at that point before the one I hadn't come onto him. And then I was thinking, well, another formulation I had of this concept was, you know, I keep coming back to problem solving. I have problems in front of me. And when you solve them, you want to like run down a list of mental models like, is this a critical mass problem or does this have to do with power law?”

“You specialize. Yeah. You specialize immediately, but then that totally kind of ruins your education in a way. And you really want all these things across discipline. So I was like, what if we just made this interdisciplinary textbook, like a survey course of everything? And I eventually gave up on that.”

“This is the longer term history. So I came out of school, my undergrad, I took a lot of courses in different disciplines. And so the original book I wanted to write was like this kind of interdisciplinary guidebook And I was like, I think a lot of people would benefit because they only have one major.”

“Big ideas out of my head. I was like, these are the hundred things that keep coming up again and again. Mental models that I continually use. And so”

“Is really counterintuitive, I think they need to know these 300 different topics, these 300 mental models, which I think you've come onto the same notion. It's like if you knew all these things and internalized it and could pattern match relatively effectively, like the situation applies to these three mental models, then you can skip lower levels of thinking and have this whole higher level conversation really quickly. If you don't know these mental models, you're starting from scratch every time and you kind of don't know the design patterns of strategic thinking. And so I started making a list. And I was like, okay, I'm going to make a list. And I initially made a list like 100 things and I asked somebody and I was like, how many of these do you know? And they were like, I know like 30 of them.”
