8/ Feynman wasn’t afraid to admit when he was wrong. He was constantly learning—and part of that was unlearning. What about you? When was the last time you admitted you didn’t know? Read on, this is the real secret to Feynman’s success…

Intelligent people make terrible decisions. This Nobel Prize-winning physicist spent 35+ years proving it. He exposed the most dangerous illusion in human thinking. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. And you’ll question every decision you’ve ever made: 🧵

1/ This is Richard Feynman: - Nobel Prize in Physics - Helped build the atomic bomb - Solved the Challenger disaster - Rewrote how we think about science But his greatest insight wasn’t about atoms or rockets. It was about human ignorance.

2/ You might think you know yourself. But your mind has been deceiving you your entire life. Just look at this:👇

3/ At first glance, this might look like two squares are different colors. But in reality, they’re the same color. Your brain is tricking you. This is how our mind works—constantly distorting reality. Stay with me, I'll show you how this plays out in real life...

4/ Ever heard of Feynman’s Rule? He said: “The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool.” It’s not about what you know. It’s about what you think you know. You’ll see what I mean next…

5/ The smarter you get, the easier it is to fool yourself. Intelligence gives you better reasons to justify your mistakes. But Feynman saw through this. He believed: “I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.”

6/ This is the problem: You think you know. But real thinkers don’t chase certainty. They chase not knowing. That’s where Feynman’s genius lies. He didn’t want answers. He wanted better questions. And here’s how that mindset worked for him:

7/ Feynman doubted everything, even the things that seemed obvious. He never took things for granted. Every answer led to a new question. So when was the last time you doubted what seemed obvious to you? Stay with me, this is key to unlocking true intelligence…

9/ You don’t need all the answers. You need better questions. “The imagination of nature is far greater than the imagination of man.” Feynman understood that reality is much stranger and more complex than we could ever grasp.

10/ His genius wasn’t in what he knew. It was in how much he was willing to unlearn. Feynman didn’t chase being right. He chased truth.

Thought I’d phro this out there:

Overthinking, waiting for all the information, knowing, not knowing, motives, understanding, analysis paralysis……make a F’n decision. Green is describing and weighting one scenario of possibilities. Making a decision is dangerous, not making a decision is dangerous!
