Our view of reality is primarily Darwinian or biological, not Newtonian. This means we use a model of reality that incorporates many biological concepts like the learning curve, ecological webs, chaotic behavior, complexity theory and complex adaptive systems. We reject much of the current dogma in economics and finance dictated by the old Newtonian model of a fixed, static, predictable world modeled by simple linear functions, and where output is proportional to input. Such a view is suitable only for simple, mechanical systems, and the economy and the larger ecosystem is not a simple, mechanical system. Your World View is Critical.
Information is a vast, cheap, overwhelming and rapidly expanding commodity.
Your world view is the hull of your ship that prevents you from drowning in a vast ocean of news and data. It is the sails and rudder that give you direction and focus. It is the single most important asset you own. Do whatever you must to develop a world view that enables you to make testable predictions. The Weight of the Past Can Sink You.
