  2. A quotation from Montaigne

    Deliberation, even about the slightest things, annoys me; and I feel my mind harder put to it to endure the various shocks and ups and downs of doubt and deliberation, than to settle down and accept any course whatever, after the die is cast. Few passions have troubled my sleep; but as for deliberations, the slightest one troubles it.
     
    [Le deliberer, voire és choses plus legeres, m’importune. Et sens mon esprit plus empesché à souffrir le bransle, & les secousses diverses du doute, & de la consultation, qu’à se rassoir & resoudre à quelque party que ce soit, apres que la chance est livree. Peu de passions m’ont troublé le sommeil ; mais des deliberations, la moindre me le trouble.]

    Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
    Essays, Book 2, ch. 17 (2.17), “Of Presumption [De la Presomption]” (1578) [tr. Frame (1943)]

  4. Stop what you would not start

    ‘We must not starve our biggest opportunities because we're so busy throwing ourselves at our biggest problems and dwelling on past mistakes. […] Yet how to do this, when past problems clamor for our attention, when we live with the accumulated legacy of what came before?"

    "If it were a decision today to start something you are already in […], would you? If not, then why do you persist?’

  6. CW: Deciding 🧵

    • social dominance is correlated with greater self confidence in #deciding
    • extraversion is less correlated with greater self confidence in #deciding
    Conversely:
    • modesty is correlated with doubt in own decisions
    • introversion is also correlated with self doubt
    In other words: individuals who report being introvert, coerced or intimidated show low confidence on a statistical learning decision-making task.

  12. #deciding 🧵

    Victor Shih argues that the multiple pathways to #power were incentives for policy innovation: a way for would-be top leaders to get noticed, and thus promoted.
