Mental Models

Collecting frameworks from many disciplines and connecting them to see problems through multiple lenses.

Mental models aren't a single way of thinking. They're a meta-skill: building a toolkit of proven frameworks from different fields and pulling out the right one for each situation. Instead of knowing concepts like opportunity cost, confirmation bias, and entropy in isolation, you connect them so you can view a single problem through multiple lenses. Charlie Munger called this a "latticework of worldly wisdom." The goal is to move beyond the blind spots of any one discipline and make better judgments.
