Making a list of “ways of thinking” dichotomies, e.g. Prickles / goo (Simler) Convex / concave (Buterin) Scout / soldier (me) Maximizing / satisficing (Simon) Elephant / rider (Haidt) Growth / fixed (Dweck) Near / far (Hanson) Outside view / inside view (Kahneman?) …what else?

@Austen Startups seem to cycle between flare phases & focus phases. These are also called: * Diverge & Converge * Explore & Exploit * Bulk & Cut As humans, we're naturally drawn to the former. Slootman's formula pushes us towards the latter. Love it!

The writing process has two phases: Divergence & convergence. In the divergence phase, you playfully explore new ideas. In the convergence phase, you shift into a state of focus where you simplify your ideas so you can publish them. Collect the dots, then connect the dots. pic.twitter.com/wIEfnasmGl
