Sometimes


  • I do not know
    • Knowledge is never 100% - things will eventually change
    • "Know" what you "do not know"
  • Sometimes
    • Because situations and circumstances will sometimes differ
Sometimes you do not know - so expect uncertainly and be prepared

Capacity to Learn from and to Accept Reality

What is your Capacity to Learn from and to Accept Reality (CLAR)? Try rating it from one to ten (one (lowest) to ten (highest)). I believe this is the most important parameter in how effective you are in making decisions. It could also be a gauge on how trustworthy you are. I shall call this your CLAR score. More on this later.

Important Note 

"Acceptance" is like saying, "Yes, I agree that this is how it is".
This then enables you say, "Now I know how it is - I can now create a realistic plan on how I want things to be"

"Faced with two competing hypotheses, we are likely to choose the most complex one. That’s usually the option with the most assumptions and regressions. As a result, when we need to solve a problem, we may ignore simple solutions — thinking “that will never work” — and instead favor complex ones."
