Today's Reading List 📚
(1) The psychology of prestige: why we play the social status game
by Hannah Rose (4 mins)
The pursuit of social status can be a bad idea, as it can lead to decisions that are self-defeating and lower our self-worth. To avoid this trap, we should practice metacognition to reflect on our long-term goals, explore unconventional paths, and focus on learning new skills. Surrounding ourselves with explorers and reading memoirs and biographies of those who have achieved their dreams without striving for wealth or status can also help.

(2) How MrBeast learns
by Henrik Karlsson (11 mins)
MrBeast, a successful YouTuber with 221 million subscribers, learned by treating his mind like a neural net and consuming a gargantuan amount of data. He believes in learning by doing and working in public, sharing insights on Twitter or a blog. He formed a core team by "cloning" himself, training his team to think like him. He also sought access to more data and better mentors to improve his skills. MrBeast's success is attributed to his dedication to learning and constantly seeking improvement.

(3) First Principles: The Building Blocks of True Knowledge
by FS Blog (16 mins)
First-principles thinking is one of the best ways to reverse-engineer complicated problems and unleash creative possibilities. Sometimes called “reasoning from first principles,” the idea is to break down complicated problems into basic elements and then reassemble them from the ground up. It’s one of the best ways to learn to think for yourself, unlock your creative potential, and move from linear to non-linear results.
