Not sure why some commenters have been put off by this. I actually learned a few things (and was reminded of a few other things I had forgotten) while going through this list. The stuff I disagreed with, I just skipped over.
What I liked:
19. Planck’s Principle
20. Bike-Shed Effect (had almost forgotten this)
21. Table Selection
23. Gall’s Law (worth a reminder)
24. Hock Principle
39. The Paradox of Consensus
49. The Paradox of Abundance
- specialist 6y agoTLDR: These items are conversation starters, questions to ask oneself (and each other) when considering something. Ya, I liked this list. It has some personal faves, which drew me in to read the whole list. So that worked. These are cliches, parables, observations, open ended questions. They're barely descriptive, much less prescriptive. Just more tools for the mental toolbox. No different than 48 Laws of Power (which most definitely are not "Laws", but marketing FTW) and the like.
