Summary:
Epilogue: Page 2 – This second page of the Epilogue places this workbook in the context of a 10-step decision-making “Process” based on Rodolfo Llinás’ lesson from the “Tale of the Sea Squirt” (See Volume 1 – Part I: Section #1): “Brains” exist to manage “Motions” through “Predictions”. This seemingly simple model connects otherwise distant theoretical and empirical dots that include (i) Inventories of model-building “Tools, Checklists” & “Processes”, (ii) Catalogs of empirical “Puzzles, Paradoxes & Anomalies”, (iii) Lists of “Axioms, Assumptions & Hypotheses”, and (iv) Observations of “Willful Ignorance, Error & Deceit” into a “Procedure” for using “Constructive Skepticism” in decision-making. This structure developed during the public, peer-review process on Substack when a reader asked for a 10-point summary of the “So What?” behind these workbooks. Writing these bullet points took the form of a “Process” for making good individual, business, and investment decisions. The next page expands each step by connecting them to words and ideas that have a definition in the “Terms-of-Art” glossary.
