Meaning that if you talk with a strong opinion on a subject, then it is hard for you to change your mind by thinking it through further and coming to the conclusion that you were wrong.
I guess one could turn this into a recommendation like "Speak softly and stay flexible".
It's interesting to note that Munger himself often didn't follow this advice and was quite bold in expressing his thoughts.
Seriously do the math on the utility of money especially with respect to Charlie Munger…
Now that he is dead, the only people that wouldn’t benefit from his estate and wealth being redistributed (as with anyone’s assets over $XXmm) are the Mungers. It’s the most broken part of the system he exploited. Even when you have too much it’s a mental illness that is praised in the US to want more.
Im glad he’s dead so people like you won’t be confused by useful ideas put forward by a societal virus.
In October 2021, Munger's insistence that the university follow his design compelled architect Dennis McFadden, who had served the university for two decades, to resign from the university's Design Review Committee. McFadden stated that the windowless, 1.68-million-square-foot dormitory would be "unsupportable from my perspective as an architect, a parent, and a human being ... An ample body of documented evidence shows that interior environments with access to natural light, air, and views to nature improve both the physical and mental wellbeing of occupants ... The Munger Hall design ignores this evidence and seems to take the position that it doesn't matter ... [T]he building is a social and psychological experiment with an unknown impact on the lives and personal development of the undergraduates the university serves."[48] In August 2023, after widespread backlash to what critics called the "windowless dorm," UC Santa Barbara abandoned the project and began to solicit alternative housing proposals. Munger also withdrew his pledge of support.
As a matter of fact we should stop revering multi billionares. There definitely should be a comeback of the term stinkin rich.
I guess I feel like if life is a game I've played very poorly, but if life is for living I've lived pretty well.
But of course that's loser talk /s
Winning is subjective. The world may think you are losing but are you?
I don’t think these type of people are inherently bad but I like to spend my time wisely and over time I have found this means not spending time with the people who are above you and in some cases at your same level if you are a manager.
When every conversation is about work or work tangential maybe it’s time you find a hobby.
