• The difficulty of logical thinking
• Authority bias and outcome bias
• Process vs. outcome
• The irrelevancy and "white noise" of news
• Information overload
• Neomania and the obsession with the "new"
• Nassim Taleb, outliers, and the black swan
• J.P. Morgan, banks, and looking behind the facade
• Why watching and waiting is torture for people (the action bias)
• The idea that "the boat matters more than your rowing"
• The paradox of choice, closing doors, and settings fire to ships
• The "it will get worse before it gets better" fallacy and stop loss
