You have to be pretty ignorant not to realize that a good deal of language ability is right there in the human genome.
And even though you have to work like hell to improve it through education, you start with a big leg up in your genes.
Ideology does some strange things and distorts cognition terribly.
If you get a lot of heavy ideology young - and then you start expressing it -
you are really locking your brain into a very unfortunate pattern.
And you are going to distort your general cognition.
[Warren] decided that ideology was dangerous - and that he was going to stay a long way away from it.
And he has throughout his whole life.
That has enormously helped the accuracy of his cognition.
You can have heavy ideology in favor of accuracy, diligence, and objectivity.
But a heavy ideology raised or that that makes you absolutely sure that the minimum wage should be it shouldn't -
and it's kind of a holy construct where you know you're right-makes you a bit nuts.
It's all right to think that, on balance, you suspect that civilization is better if it lowers the minimum wage or raises it.
Either position is OK.
But being totally sure on issues like that with a strong, violent ideology, in my opinion, turns you into a lousy thinker.
You can't learn psychology the way your professors teach it.
You've got to learn everything they teach.
But you've got to learn a lot more that they don't teach - because they don't handle their own subject correctly.
But maybe you aren't interested in awesome rewards or avoiding a lot of misery or being more able to serve everything you love in life.
And, if that's your attitude, then don't pay attention to what I've been trying to tell you - because you're already on the right track.
"Similarly, without this system of getting the main models and using them together in a multimodular way, you'll screw up time after time after time, too."

Psychological texts don't deal adequately with combinations of factors.
I told you earlier to be aware of the lollapalooza effect when two or three or more forces are operating in the same direction.
No pilot takes off without going through his checklist: A, B, C, D....
But these psychology professors think they're so smart that they don't need a checklist.
But they aren't that smart.
Almost nobody is.
Or, maybe, nobody is.
One reason psychology professors so screw up denial is that it's hard to do demonstrative experiments without conduct forbidden by ethics.
To demonstrate how misery creates mental disfunction in people, think of what you'd have to do to your fellow human beings.
"GEICO is a very interesting model. It's another one of the one hundred or so models you ought to have in your head.
I've had many friends in the sick-business-fix game. They practically all use the formula"

There's only one right way to do it: You have to get the main doctrines together and use them as a checklist.
And, to repeat for emphasis, you have to pay special attention to combinatorial effects that create lollapalooza consequences.
Finally, I'd like to once again talk about investment management.
That is a funny business - because on a net basis, the whole investment management business together gives no value added to all buyers combined.
That's the way it has to work.
