Thinking in Bets - Chapter 5 - Dissent to Win

Thinking in Bets - Chapter 5 - Dissent to Win

I’ve already told about the truthseeking group (The Buddy System) as a great way to improve decision-making process.

How to share information inside such a group and how to disagree efficiently (to find a good solution)? And how to communicate outside of such efficient group?

There is a set of rules called “CUDOS” that can be used for this…

Our Rational Answer books club has selected a book for February. It is “Thinking in Bets” by Annie Duke: https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Bets-Making-Smarter-Decisions-ebook/dp/B074DG9LQF

This book is written by a multi-million dollar poker tournaments winner (and her brother is also a multi-million dollar poker tournaments winner - so it’s a family business ;))

She teaches how to apply poker thinking to make decisions in financial markets, strategic planning, human resources, law, entrepreneurship…

Chapter 5 covers CUDOS principles:

  1. Mertonian communism: more is more (about information)
  2. Universalism: don’t shoot the message
  3. Disinterestedness: we all have a conflict of interest, and it’s contagious
  4. Organized Skepticism: real skeptics make arguments and friends

+Communicating with the world beyond our group.
