3 days agoThe Leadership Skill That's Quietly Fading in the Age of AI
AI-driven efficiency risks diminishing deep thinking, leading to a loss of original understanding and nuanced insight among leaders.
#intelligence
Psychology
fromSilicon Canals
1 day agoResearch suggests that high intelligence doesn't protect against bad decisions - it makes people better at constructing convincing justifications for the bad decisions they were already going to make - Silicon Canals
Higher intelligence can lead to greater polarization rather than alignment on contested facts.

1 day ago9 signs you have a genuinely sharp mind (even if you never thought of yourself as particularly intelligent) - Silicon Canals
Intelligence often manifests in quiet observation and attention to detail rather than loud proclamations or traditional measures of success.

21 hours agoTwenty seconds to approve a military strike; 1.2 seconds to deny a health insurance claim. The human is in the AI loop. Humanity is not
Artificial intelligence significantly accelerates decision-making in military and business contexts, but human oversight may be minimal and ineffective.
#productivity
Productivity
fromSilicon Canals
11 hours agoI deleted every productivity app on my phone and my output doubled - because I'd been spending more time optimizing my system than actually doing the work - Silicon Canals
Deleting productivity apps led to increased output by eliminating the management of systems that masked actual productivity.
Productivity

4 days agoMany productivity programs solve the wrong problem. This is what leaders should do instead
Organizations face work design problems rather than productivity issues, leading to temporary solutions that fail to address underlying conflicts in problem-solving approaches.
#motivation
Psychology
fromSilicon Canals
1 day agoPsychology says people who want to change their lives but never start aren't lazy - they're waiting for a feeling of readiness that behavioral science confirms almost never arrives on its own - Silicon Canals
Feeling ready to act is often a byproduct of taking action, not a prerequisite.
Mindfulness
fromSilicon Canals
2 days agoPsychology says people who constantly research self-improvement but never start aren't lazy - they've confused the feeling of learning with the feeling of changing - Silicon Canals
Learning about self-improvement can create a false sense of progress without actual change in behavior.
Mental health
fromSilicon Canals
2 days agoPsychology says people who mellow out as they get older aren't the ones who suffered less - they're the ones who decided, at some point and without always knowing they were deciding, that the suffering was going to make them more open rather than less, and that decision, remade daily in small ways that nobody notices, is the entire difference - Silicon Canals
Emotional responses to life's challenges can change over time, leading to greater peace and stability despite ongoing difficulties.
#decision-making
Mindfulness
fromSilicon Canals
4 days agoPsychology says the most important life lesson isn't learning to make better decisions - it's learning to live peacefully with the ones you can't undo - Silicon Canals
Irreversible choices shape our lives and learning to coexist with them is crucial for mental well-being.

1 week agoOverthinkers often don't realize it but psychology says the way they experience happiness is fundamentally different from most people - they can't feel joy without immediately calculating how and when they'll lose it - Silicon Canals
Chronic overthinkers experience positive emotions differently, often dampening their intensity and duration instead of savoring them.

3 days agoThe people who always have a backup plan aren't pessimists. They grew up in environments where promises were unreliable, and redundancy became the only architecture that didn't collapse when someone changed their mind without warning. - Silicon Canals
Obsessive planners are often generous, driven by past experiences that teach them to prepare for uncertainties.
Psychology

6 days agoPsychology suggests if you still write things down on paper instead of your phone you aren't resisting progress - you've found something that works and are practicing the increasingly rare skill of not replacing it simply because something newer arrived, and that skill, applied consistently, turns out to predict a surprising number of other things about how you make decisions - Silicon Canals
Handwriting enhances cognitive engagement and memory retention compared to typing, leading to better decision-making and creativity.

2 months agoHow Your Intuition Can Become Your Biggest Bottleneck
The founder of one of our portfolio companies created a company with approximately $200 million in revenue purely on instinct. The founder had spent a large amount of time around the products and relationships with customers, so that he could literally go out onto the production floor and identify the machine that would be broken down in a week, and he would reject a price recommendation from his financial staff because "it didn't feel right!"
