Ep 20: Oh shit, we talked about politics

What starts as a brief history about starting a business leads us hesitantly into the political landscape. It feels dangerous, but a lively and hopeful conversation arises by confronting the uncomfortable.

People who are right a lot, they listen a lot. And people who are right a lot, change their mind a lot. And people who are right a lot, they seek to disconfirm their most profoundly held convictions, which is very unnatural for humans. We like to observe the evidence that confirms our preexisting beliefs. And people who are right a lot, work very hard to do that unnatural thing of trying to disconfirm their beliefs. Changing your mind a lot is so important. You should never let anybody trap you with anything you've said in the past Sometimes you get new data, and when you get new data, you should change your mind. By the way, sometimes you don't get new data and you just reanalyze the situation and you realize it's more complicated than you initially thought was, and you change your mind. It's frustrating to watch politicians because they're not allowed to change their mind. As soon as they change their mind, they get accused of being flip-floppers. When reality is: Anybody who doesn't change their mind a lot is dramatically underestimating the complexity of the world that we live in."
