Join 📚 Christian Champ's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
Although he painted other animals-squirrels, horses, even dragonsMusashi seems to have had a special affinity for birds. He did not, however, collect and cage rare or colorful ones as did a number of the daimyo of his age. Musashi was interested in the wild ones, admiring them for their intensity, play, economy of movement, and, above all, freedom.
The Lone Samurai

People tend to overemphasize the big, splashy things: faith, politics, and certainly looks, but they don’t matter nearly as much as everyone thinks. Sometimes they don’t matter at all.
Dataclysm
Christian Rudder
A theory of a situation is just an informal organizing pattern (either recognized from past experience, or improvised) that accelerates the development of situation awareness by providing a strong filter. New input that further refines, confirms or obviously invalidates the theory bubbles quickly to the foreground. Clearly irrelevant input is banished to the background. Elements of unclear relevance remain in limbo as a vague sense of uncertainty, creating drag, which we experience as doubt. In the case of a love triangle, the pattern in your head might be: A and B are both attracted to C, and C is mildly attracted to A.
