Today's podcast discusses why I preach Input as the first tenant in the Professional Development Plan.  This lesson is based upon the book: The Half-life of Facts by Sam Arbesman.  Once we understand that what we know has a finite shelf life it becomes easier to aggressively pursue new information and knowledge to make sure "our facts" are just that; actual facts!
Sam's Thesis: Facts change in many ways but the undeniable truth is every fact has a half-life that obeys mathematical rules.  We can measure/expect these changes, what we learn will be out of date or false ever few years and the distribution of fact change is slow; hampered by human networks and internal biases.
Please feel free to add to the discussion by joining our Facebook group at otovets/facebook and get some great Inputs, curated by me Dr. Eric, by signing up for our FREE newsletter at otovets.com/5-4-3-2-1.
