Short-termism

Darwin (Darwin, 2003) documented any information that contradicted his evolving theories and conclusions. He recognized confirmation bias long before it had a name and developed a practical system to counteract it. I try to do the same when reading or listening to podcasts. Here’s an idea that goes against the grain:

Chinese economist Keyu Jin discusses the Chinese motto β€œquick, flat, fast.” While it’s considered a short-term trend, short-termism prioritizes immediate profit or reward, quick execution of projects, and short-term results over long-term results and strategic action.
