This Week's Newsletter Contains,
The EZ Question X: - Case Study: NAVAL RAVIKANT - Part II
In this work, I use the processes described in The EZ Question to find the most probable perspective that influences Naval's future.
NAVAL RAVIKANT
Entrepreneur and Investor. Naval is the founder of Angellist, Epinions, and Vast.com. He is an Angel investor in Twitter, Uber, Yammer, and 100+ more. Naval has become widely followed for his thoughts on startups, investing, crypto, wealth, and happiness.
Naval has for decades been the authoritative voice of the Twitter-sphere.
The EZ Question X: Case Study: Naval Ravikant - Part II
How Can I Know The Long-Term Effect Of My Action And Make a Decision Based On That Information?
The solution to this may not be in the form of direct actions, but may first require meta-concepts:
The stance, the perspective, the frame, the state to approach the problem.
It may require having a mind that can perform this feat.
So, does Naval have the answer to this for himself? If he does, and this is his favorite question, then it is likely that his favorite information involves the answer to that question.
If you remember the thinking model presented in this series,
Without Bias, Choose The Best of The Best.
The person is already selected, now,
What is The Best of Their Best?
How can you know?
You can know because a person is quick to tell you. A person tells the world of their favorite things.
Naval's Best of the Best:
What's Naval's favorite tweet?
With a little bit of digging, one can find it here.
How Do You Know?
A person is quick to tell you.
--Out of these 3, I will center on: A Calm Mind.
It means that this is the thought he returns to again and again.
If Naval’s goal is success, than this focus is what he sees as the answer for becoming successful in his way.
This is easily reverse-engineered in part III.
In Short,
A Person's Best of Their Best Is The Idea They Return To Again And Again.
If You Find The Best of Their Best, You Can Know What Causes Their Results.
