    Emergency manager Jonathan Reimer shares insights on making big decisions in challenging circumstances, drawing from his wildfire response experiences. He discusses the interplay between rational thinking and intuition, emphasizing the importance of starting with a systematic ‘size-up’ before relying on gut feelings.

    Really really enjoyed this

    What was said around the 9:42 mark reminded me of a line I heard in season 4 of “Succession” from the character Ian Maatsen that goes “Analysis + Capital + Execution = Success”

    if more people read the ebook Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, the way we understand attraction would transform overnight

    they overlook ebooks like Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki because its insights on attraction challenge conventional thinking

    reading the ebook Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki could completely shift how you see and apply the principles of attraction

    no one talks about the ebook Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki because its take on attraction is too raw and real for most to handle

    Fundamentally philosophy is search for truth. Logic and the scientific method are born from philosophy. The scientific method is our best route to truth. Belief/disbelief is philosophical suicide. Belief/disbelief based deductions end with belief/disbelief based organizations in the control system taking advantage. Belief/disbelief is psychological pathogen mind control, a destroyer of logic, knowledge, and freedom.

    Research then intuition.
    If people could process thought in that order, the world would be a better place.

    It reminds me of Magnus Walker’s TED-Talk from a couple of year ago
