Episode Synopsis

In this episode I talk about snowballs, more specifically, the runaway process that happens when we take an action we think is confined to that instance but ends up becoming something so much bigger. We're all familiar with this process, but I want to peel back its nature and expose its underlying mechanisms in order to truly understand how it works. In doing this, I believe we can better appreciate just how prevalent snowballing is in our lives and how we can use such knowledge to make better decisions. I'll be using the much-debated topic of "freedom of speech" as my example, and putting forward what I think is the best solution to this problem.Support the showBecome a premium member to gain access to premium content, including the Techniques and Mindsets Videos, visual concept summaries of each episode, community forum, episode summary notes, episode transcripts, q&a/ama sessions, episode search, watch history, watch progress and support.Join Now at nontrivialpodcast.com or patreon.com/8431143/join
