All these mental models are simplified maps of an infinitely complex reality. When we rely on them too heavily, do we risk falling into the trap of mistaking the map for the actual territory? The very tools we use to understand the world can end up shaping and even limiting our perspective. That's why being aware of the limitations of the models themselves is just as important as using them.

Always a good read

Bought his books, definitely the first time I was exposed to this sort of stuff. Great reads

FS was a major part of me getting into Munger and building out my web of mental models.

Will always be grateful to Shane for that!

My mental model of a website that replaces the content with some 'sign up now' stuff while I'm trying to read it is that it deserves to get closed and never looked-at again.
