Razors are rules that simplify decisions.
THREAD: 20+ powerful razors (to help you cut through life’s noise):
The Steve Jobs Quality Razor
When building, take pride in carrying the quality all the way through.
Would you be proud for your work to be seen from every angle and perspective?
If not, keep working.
The ELI5 Razor
Complexity and jargon are often used to mask a lack of true understanding.
If you can’t explain it to a 5-year-old, you don’t really understand it.
If someone uses a lot of complexity and jargon to explain something to you, they probably don’t understand it.
Munger’s Rule of Opinions
“I never allow myself to have an opinion on anything that I don’t know the other side’s argument better than they do.” - Charlie Munger
Opinions aren’t free. You have to work to earn the right to have them.
The Bezos Regret Minimization Framework
The goal is to minimize the number of regrets in life.
When faced with a difficult decision:
(1) Project yourself into the future
(2) Look back on the decision
(3) Ask "Will I regret not doing this?"
(4) Take action
