Introducing Opaque: A Snail Mail Subscription for Better Decisions

from Taylor Made Thoughts Hosted by Scott Taylor

I’m trying something new. It’s called Opaque — a snail mail subscription built around one idea: How do you make good decisions when you don’t know how things will turn out? Each issue puts you inside a real decision faced by an entrepreneur, leader, investor, or historical figure. You’ll get the information they had at the time — but not what happened next. Then you have to decide. What would you do? What are you assuming? What risks are you overlooking? And how confident should you really be? Only later do you discover what actually happened and get a chance to compare your reasoning with reality. In this episode, I explain why I’m creating Opaque, how the experience will work, and why I think practicing decisions under uncertainty is one of the best ways to develop better judgment. No hindsight. No obvious answers. Just you, the information available at the time, and a decision to make. This is an experiment, and I’d love for you to be part of the first group to try it.
