📚 3 Good Articles for You
Efficiency Is the Enemy of Innovation
by Geoffrey James (3 mins)
Efficiency in business often leads to profit and power concentration in few corporations, stifling competition and innovation.
This dominance by mega-corporations can cause negative impacts such as social unrest, reduced entrepreneurship, and structural fragility.
Governments should promote market "resilience" over efficiency, by encouraging competition and reforming anti-monopoly laws to diversify the marketplace.
Lazy Leadership
by Andrew Wilkinson (13 mins)
The author practices "Lazy Leadership," which involves less direct involvement and more delegation to his team, contributing to successful companies.
The "Lazy Leadership" approach views the business as a machine, with the leader overseeing operations without being deeply involved in daily tasks.
Using his company MetaLab as an example, the author illustrates how delegating roles based on abilities allows for continuous operations and enhances business growth.
You'll forget most of what you learn. What should you do about that?
by Adam Mastroianni (15 mins)
People tend to forget a large part of what they learn over time, with various factors influencing the extent of this forgetting.
Justifications for this forgetting range from the inherent nature of learning to the goal of education being to teach how to learn.
The author posits that learning is fundamentally about emotional experiences or 'vibes,' which are often remembered better than specific facts.
